[Andy White]

Hi,

The error I get is:

login as: admin

admin@10.10.46.6's

password:

Access denied

Driving me mad, any ideas?

Andy,

You need to have aaa configured:

aaa authentication login default local

You have aaa new-model enabled, so you should just need to configure the above.

HTH,

  Along with John's statement make sure you have created the crypto keys also .

Hi john,

by default the authentication method DEFAULT is applied to the line when aaa is enabled  so no need to add the command.

Regards.

Think I have this solution, I didn't know you couldn't copy and paste the secret encrypted passwords over, I copied over in clear text and it was fine!

Thanks
