Line console

[danilopasiani1]

Hello Guys,

I would like to know how can I config line console in a switch Cisco WS-C2960X.

I tried this config below but I could not set up.

1. router#configure terminal
   Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
   router(config)#line con 0
   router(config-line)#
   
   router(config-line)#password letmein
   router(config-line)#login

This is my switch when I try config.

STK-2960-B(config-line)#login ?
  authentication  Authentication parameters.

STK-2960-B(config-line)#login 
% Incomplete command.

line con 0
 privilege level 15
 logging synchronous
 login authentication console

Hi,

the authentication methods for the switch lines depend on the (global) aaa model (authentication, authorization and accounting):

Sw1(config)#no aaa new-model
Sw1(config)#line vty 0 15
Sw1(config-line)#login ?
  local   Local password checking
  tacacs  Use tacacs server for password checking
  <cr>

       
Sw1(config)#aaa new-model
Sw1(config)#line vty 0 15
Sw1(config-line)#login ?
  authentication  Authentication parameters.
  ctrlc-disable   Disable CONTROL-C during login.
Sw1(config-line)#login authentication ?
  WORD     Use an authentication list with this name.
  default  Use the default authentication list.
Sw1(config-line)#login authentication default ?
  <cr>
