username admin priv 15 secret xxxx

username support priv 15 secret xxxx

That is happening because your users have a priviledge level of 15. Create a user with a priviledge level of 1 for Telnet.

Yes, remove the "privilege level 15 under the vty line" and change this line "aaa authentication login default" to "aaa authentication login default local" and of course create a user with a priviledge level of less than 15.

Did that still takes me to the router#

I want router>

Sent from my iPhone

make this config:

line vty 0 4

password darren849

Login local

exit

Please rate , if it helps.

Regards

did that and now get the router> but cant type enable or get error

Switch>enable

% Error in authentication

That symptom usually means that there is no enable password or enable secret configured. The console will go go to enable mode without the enable password or enable secret but the vty require that it be configured. Can you confirm whether there is any enable password or enable secret configured?

It would probably help us see what is going on if you would post the entire configuration of aaa (or better yet just post the entire config).

I have a factory default 2960 and I past this into it, I have one vlan set up and one switch port so I can telnet in to the switch.

What I dont get is when I go in through the console I get prompted for a  user name and password

then I get  router>    now I type ....enable then takes be directall to the Router#  This is exactly how I want it.

I want it to do the same for the VTY ( Telnet) but it will not

I get promped for a user name and password then it goes directally to router#

I want it to go to router>

conf t

username support priv 15 secret xxxx

username admin priv 15 secret xxxxxx

line vty 0 15

privilege level 15

login authentication default

exit

exit

wr mem

If I go change the VTY 0 4 Privilege level from 15 it goes directally to the Router# after the user name and password

If I change the VTY 0 4 Privilege level to 0,1,or 2  I get prompted for user name and password and go to the Router>

when I type enable from here I get % Error in Authentication

Based on what you have posted I would say that you are experiencing normal behavior of IOS. You have not configured either enable password or enable secret so there is no password protecting enable mode. By default on the console it will go into enable mode with no password for enable. And by default the vty will fail to go to enable when there is no password.

So you can not have the vty to behave exactly as the console does. You can either configure a password to protect enable and then enter the password at the enable prompt for the vty. Or you can configure the vty to go directly to enable mode. If you want people to go to enable mode without a password then I do not understand the logic of wanting to force them to type enable. Why not take them directly to enable?

I am the only person who will be using the router. I am the only support ( scarry). When I telnet in I want to get to the Router>  

If I need to do any task at the Router> prompt I am going to have to go to the physical switch and plug in a console port.

There may be a time when I need to telnet in and get to the Router> prompt
