How do i enable the 'enable' function for when people telnet into the router?

I mean, how do i make it so that, when people telnet into the router, they would arrive at the "Router>" mode, instead of the "Router#" mode

i already have a enable password and enable secret password setup, but telnet users don't have to put it in.

anyone know why?
thanks.
 
AAA authentication with usernames setup with privelage level 15 and after they sign in they will be at router#.
 
b8con, are you saying that people go directly to enable mode upon logging in? If so, remove the "privilege level" commands from your VTY lines.

HTH,
John
 
Undderstand few simple things in your running config will give you idea

1) username Cisco password 7 096F471A1A0A -- This command means you have to give username and password to reach > prompt. Basically command is
config#username Cisco password Cisco
but run config will by default save it as encrypted password.

2) enable secret 5 $1$nWbH$Xb.DuW5ZkzUhyre/1r -- This command sets the password for entering to configuration mode
that is # prompt.

3) line vty 5 15 -- This will enable your telnet session. And when you have Username command set the telnet will by default ask you Username and password and then will come to > prompt.
