I installed and was able to use the Cisco Network Assistant. But when I setup the enable and vty passwords I get a dialog windows stating "Please enter your username and password for realm 'level_15_access' on xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
what username and password is it asking for? I know this is linked to setting up the enable and vty passwords but I can't figure out why.

If you haven't set up a local username then try
1) no username/password = enable secret password
2) username = cisco/password = enable secret password

cedric, on the device your trying to access, you can,
config t
ip http server enable (to use the enable password to login
or
ip http server local (to use login of an account setup locally on the device)
then try to connect using CNA

I'm having the same issue. I am comparing the configs from 2 switches. One works with CNA, the other doesn't. Same model switch.
Goal: set up CNA using the same user/enable passwords as telnetting into the switch.
A few questions:
I looked at the vty settings for the working switch:
ip default-gateway 111.222.333.444
ip classless
ip http server
ip http secure-server
the non-working:
ip default-gateway 111.222.333.444
ip classless
ip http server
ip http authentication local
The working VTY:
ine con 0
stopbits 1
line vty 0 3
password 7 blahblahblah
login
length 0
line vty 4
password 7 blahblahblah
login
length 0
line vty 5 14
password 7 blahblahblah
login
transport input telnet
line vty 15
password 7 blahblahblah
login
transport input telnet
the NON working:
line con 0
line vty 0 4
password 7 blah
login
length 0
line vty 5 14
password 7 blah
login
line vty 15
password 7 moreblah
login
transport input telnet
I just configured the line vty 15 and where it says password, I had to use "password 0 enablepswd". With a "sh run", it gave me the above.
Shouldn't it work?? The other one does!

hi,
Try removing the command. "ip http authentication local"
the non-working:
ip default-gateway 111.222.333.444
ip classless
ip http server
ip http authentication local
Also try to just provide the enable password without any username.
Hope this helps,

I think that's it! the ip http authentication local was the problem.
