Hi, I have set my console password on a 1720 router, and saved the config., but when I exit or restart the router there is no password prompt, just goes straight into user exec mode. Is there any setting that disables the console login prompt? Thanks Gerg
Hi,
Just in case, verify the following tasks:
//config mode for the console terminal line
Router(config)#line console 0
//Specify your password
Router(config)#password
//Enable password checking at terminal session login
Router(config)#login
//highly recommended action
Router(config)#copy run start
//Verification
Router(config)#sh run
Router(config)#sh start
Thanks for the tip. In config, when I type "login", I get an "incomplete command" message. login ? gives a response of "authentication or Authentication parameters" so I'm not sure what to put here
I am not sure but maybe you have some kind of authentication turned on that over-rides the "login" comand.
username fred privilege 15 password xxxxxxxx aaa new-model ! ! aaa authentication login userauthenticate local
........
line vty 0 4 privilege level 15 password 7 xxxxxxxx transport preferred all transport input telnet ssh transport output all
When I telnet ot the router I get:-
"User Access Verification
Username: fred Password:
router#"
Not the "Enabled" mode right away. Not exactly what I would like really but it does what we need.
