2950 switch not prompting username and password

[Cisco10956]

I have setup my username and password on a Cisco 2950 switch for security. My computer is connected to the switch with a console cable.

When I restart my switch I get prompted for the enable password only.

Problem.

I do not get prompted for a username and password - Why ??- What am I doing wrong in my configuration.

These are the commands I have loaded on the switch.

enable secret Cisco1
username admin privilege 15 secret  Cisco

[Reza Sharifi]

Try this command:

no username admin privilege 15 secret  Cisco

username admin privilege 15 password 7 Cisco

and test again.

HTH

Hi Reza the commands did not work

I received the following message after the last command line.

Invalid encrypted password

Hi

Try this command lines only:

username admin privilege 15 password Cisco

conf t

no aaa new-model 

username admin privilege 15 password Cisco

line vty 0 15 (or 0 4)
login local

line con 0
login local

Hope it is useful

Hi Julio - That was a very big help

doing a no aaa new-model, and adding the lines for vty and con.

It was simple but it worked. Thanks

God Bless and Have A Great Dat

I gave you 5 stars. - Just want to make sure,.

[Dennis Mink]

on your vty line 0 4

use "login local" command

please rate if useful.

Thanks but that did not work.

The command you sent is only good for using telnet from the network.

If a switch or router is connected by a console cable the first level of security I need to receive is a username and I am not getting that.

Hopes this helps

[Dennis Mink]

OK, yes, in that case stick the login local on the line console

Please rate if useful.

If you are having the issue on the console interface only - use:

configure terminal
 line con 0
 login local
 end

This should actually enable user authentication on console as well.
