command 'login local' gives error for C3745-SPSERVICESK9-M

[sachin_p_patel]

Hi

I am very new to here and having hard time understand some IOS commands.

I am using

IOS (tm) 3700 Software (C3745-SPSERVICESK9-M), Version 12.3(16), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc4)

my current vty config has only

line vty 0 4

exec-timeout 0 20

!

when I try to do > login local on this vty line I am getting follwonig error.

'

(config-line)#login local

                          ^

% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

But when I do telnet it's asking for username/passowd and I can login using the following config

username xxxxxx privilege 15 password 7 934805983058

Now I don't understand that without having 'login local' in vty config why my router is asking for username/pass....

Thanks in advance...

Under vty lines if you are unable to configure" login local" then it means you have aaa configured on the switch.

Can you check "show run | in aaa"?

Thanks Karthick.....

once I removed the aaa config I am able to use 'login local' command.....
