Cant get management address login working

[jasonf2000]

Hi,

I inherited a switch, and am trying to setup managment IP and login, and I can't get it working on 3750:

At console, I'm logged in without any password, and enable requires password of one of the vty's (i'm not sure which one)

Relevant lines:

version 12.2

service password-encryption

enable password 7 020xxxxxxxxxx
!

!
interface Vlan20
ip address 10.10.10.240 255.255.255.0

.

!
!
line con 0
line vty 0 4
password 7 030xxxxxxxxx
login
line vty 5 15
password 7 08xxxxxxxxxxx
login
!
end

I also entered:

username xxxxxx  privilege 15 password 7 0 xxxxxxx

but it's not working.

What am I missing?

Thanks

Hi there,

The password is asking you is the one you have on the vty line

My personal preference on this case is to configure as follows:

username admin privilege 15 secret mysecret

line vty 0 15

 login local

 no password

line con 0

 login loca

 No password

by entering the Login Local command to the console and vty line you are ensuring you will ask the username and password you have configured

Great, thank you everyone.  I will get this sorted and mark it as correct answer soon.

Best regards,

Hi

If you want to connect to the switch remotely via ssh or telnet, you must include the following command:

conf t
ip default-gateway 10.10.10.1  <-- I am assuming IP .1 is your gateway and the vlan 20 is your management vlan.

And if you are going to use the local credentials created on your device, please execute these command lines:

conf t
no aaa new-model

username Cisco priviledge 15 password Test123  (example)

line vty 0 15
login local

write memory

*Also ping the management IP in order to check the reachability.
