Telnet enable password
|
|
| Nathaniel W. Cook 2003-09-23, 3:26 pm |
| Hello,
While studying for CCNA I've come upon a question that I've been unable to
find a decent answer to on the web. I understand that when you configure
telnet you have to set a login and a password for a person to get into user
mode using telnet. (or you can use "no login" command and they can get
right in.) But everytime I try to "en" or enable once I have telnetted in
it, it always says no password set. Nowhere can I find how to set the
password for a person who is telnetted in to be able to enable privileged
mode. This is just to satisfy my understanding about the whole concept.
!
line vty 0 4
login
password cisco
any other commands?
!
Thanks,
Nathaniel

"login" is enabled by default. Don't really need it.
> password cisco
This sets the password to get in via you vty lines (telnet sessions)
But you also need "ENABLE" password. You have to set this via the
console port.
enable
conf t
enable password foobar
!
! OR you can use the secret password
!
enable secret foobar
