Hi,
We have 3 ESW-520-24P series switches.
I can not console them because by default they have a security profile attached into it for "Console Only" and It is set as "Deny".
I can't modify or delete it because it's a default security policy.
We can do console into ESW-540-24P series switches without any problems.
Can someone share any solutions to gain console access for these switches?
Any one from Cisco TAC support?
Thanks in advance.
Mansur.

I am kind of confused by the questioning. By default with these switches, you can access the console and administer the switch/ set ip address etc. The Deny console you are speaking of, is this a restriction that has been placed on the device and now you cannot get into the device via console?

Hi Devicarr,
Thanks for your reply.
I can set the VLAN and Management IP address using the web interfaces.
But when I am trying to connect it via console it is not responding. I reset it to factory default and then found from the web control panel/interface that the switch has an "Access Authentication" under that it has a "Access Profile" and the profile has a default or built in profile attached says "Console Only" and it has a rule like "IP Source = 0.0.0.0/32 Permit = Deny".
I tried to delete or modify it even I tried to add a new rule to allow the console access but failed.
Does this switch series "ESW-520-24P" by default Console disabled when manufactured or ELSE? Please provide me your valuable suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
Mansur.
