Catalyst 2900 Series XL 2

[kevin2003]

Hi,

I've a catalyst 2900 xl and I can console to the switch but when I tried to telnet it displayed this message:

"password required, but none set
connection to host lost"

How do I set the password for telnet? I consoled into the switch and type "?" but did not see any command that shows how to do this?

Please help,

Thanks,

Kevin

you need to set both the vty password and a enable secret password .

conf t
lin vty 0 15
password XXXX
exec-timeout 15
exit
enable secret XXXXXX
end
write memory

Thanks, I had the enable password set already, so do I just need to do the telnet password? and also how do I retrieve or reset an enable password on another 2900 xl? An ex-employee set this password and did not leave the password when he left.

Thanks,

Kevin
