Can't configure a Switch on Cisco's Packet Tracer program
2 replies, posted
So I'm taking a networking class, and I need to set a password on a 2950T switch. However, it won't work...

Can anyone help?
Friend from the class told me this:
[quote]type in
Switch(config)# line console 0
Switch(config)# password cisco
Switch(config)# line console 0
Switch(config)#login
Switch(config)#exit
Switch#exit
Switch>exit[/quote]
But that only sets the plain text one. What about the encrypted one?
The current standard for encrypted passwords is "secrets" which is fairly simple:
enable secret mypassword
[code]
Switch>ena
Switch#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)#enable secret helloworld
Switch(config)#^Z
Switch#

Switch#show run

If you're set on using the old "password" use
service password-encrypt
ena password mypassword
[code]
Switch#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)#service password-encrypt
Switch(config)#ena pass helloworld
Switch(config)#^Z

Thanks! Now to figure out why VLAN's aren't working for me.
