problems with username/password

aschwartzkopf · ‎11-19-2021

I am working on a cisco 9300 switch with the 17.3.3 software installed. it has been configured to require a logon to enter privileged exec mode, but when we go to verify the configuration worked it does not require the logon. Myself and another engineer have gone through the configuration line by line and we have the configuration correct as far as we can see. Were stumped as to what the problem could be.

- Post the configuration here , perhaps authenticating parts only and or cloak sensitive information.
