I am a little new to this and still going to college, I see you guys have really good support here. I bought a 3500XL switch off ebay to help me learn some cisco equipment as my instructor suggested it would be of great help getting ahead. I have done my basic configuration of the switch by setting up my switch ip address, enabling the vty 0 4 password and all but when i use SecureCRT to connect it gives me the error "The remote system refused the connection." and I cant seem to figure it out. I thought maybe the IP address I setup was conflicting somehow so I reassigned it to the last ip 192.168.100.254 instead of 192.168.100.1 and still no luck. I double checked and even setup the password from vty 0-15 just to make sure I had enough ports open to connect. Here is what my config looks like
Current configuration:
!
version 12.0
no service pad
