Password first -login second?

Unfortunatly, my CNA CCNA 2 Module has been closed for quite some time
now.  If I remember correctly, that would have been the correct
answer.  A lot also does depend on the version of the CNA that you're
taking.  Since I took v3.1, there may have been a few things that were
presented in later versions that I know I missed.  2600 routers to the
CNA I know are considered old, but that doesn't mean that commands
from past routers to present are excluded.  Does the question specify
if you are using a virtual telnet login or using a console login?

Either way works: putting in the password first simply means you don't get the
warning message that login won't apply until you have put in the password.

on the CCNA exam would password first  be the correct answer?
thanx

The cisco exam would be unlikely to ask 'What is the correct order?' If you
were asked about how to set up password validation on a telnet connection it is
more likely to test your knowledge that you needed both the password and the
login commands. In a simulation, if this step was required, either order would
pass AFAIR, although I just got into the habit of putting in password first in
preparation for my exam.

Thanks for that-I am hooping to take my CCNA in July-have taken a few
practice exams and have been getting around 90% -the applets that open
up seem quite straight forward-just wondered if it is true that once
you answer a question you cant go back to it?
thanks for your time

The output of a "show running-config" or "show startup-config" shows the
commands in a certian order, not necessarily the order they were entered.
The exception to this of course is definately access-lists where the order
of entries is kept intact by the IOS.

There have been very few mix-ups discovered where the router would not
accept a set of commands in the order as they appear in the configuration.
In most cases, the commands are accepted with a warning message but are
still accepted, such as this case.

Just tested your dilemma on a 2600 series running IP base IOS version
12.3.22.
From a clean default configuration, I entered configuration mode, entered
"line vty 0 15", then entered the login command.  The message "% Login
disabled on line XX, until 'password' is set" appeared but the configuration
retained the command.

My response is to accept the answer as "line vty 0 15" (or 0 4), "login",
"password XXXXX" just like you wrote below depite the warning from the IOS
when the login command is entered before the password.
