Hi

Yes, the interface is up, as I am able to log in with Telnet, and also with Web, and I am even prompted for login, just it isnt letting me on for some reason. There is no auth error in IE either. I also tried a wrong password, it then re-prompts me for credentials, and when I enter my secret password with no username, it goes through, and then drops me. But like I said, I can even see the Web-UI of the Cisco router, so the connection is evident.

Thanks for any help,

Ben

Ben,

Can you post your current config? Obfuscate any real IP addresses before you post.

Hi

This is the running-config currently. As I was playing with it, now its a bit different than how it was when I first posted. I did a reset to Factory Defaults, and I went through the initial configuration. The only difference I can see is that now HTTP is disabled. When it was enabled, I had the login problem.

Do you see anything obvious?

Also, if I find a good configuration example on the internet, how do I upload it to the router?

Thanks

Ben

Check this link for a sample config with VPN:

http://www.thenall.com/vpn/index.htm

click on "router setup" in the left pane.

Hi

Thanks for the link, but it didnt really help me. I am not trying to set up VPN, and I already found a good configuration which will work for me, I just dont know how to upload a config file to the router, or do I have to add the entries one by one?

As for HTTP access, I added the entries to the Console:

ip http server

ip http access-class 24

access-list 24 allow any

The access-class and access-list I copied from your link. Still the same, router is managable through Telnet, but not HTTP. If telnet works, I can safely state I guess that the Ethernet interface is fine. Is there anything I can do about this?

Thanks

Ben

You can copy and paste your config. Edit the config file you have to your liking and then:

- connect to the router via console.

- enter global config mode

router>en

router#config t

router(config)#

- now copy your config file and paste it at the prompt.

You can also copy the file via tftp but try the copy&paste first.

Ben, the web interface that you are referring to is CRWS.

The following document is a good read:

Cisco Router Web Setup 3.3 Troubleshooting Guide

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/netmgtsw/ps2076/prod_troubleshooting_guide09186a0080132c3c.html

Try creating a user.

Router#conf t

username < > password < >

Now, every time you login using the web interface, provide the username/password specified above.

If this does not work, you may add try the following in addition to the above step:

Router#conf t

line vty 0 4

login local

Now, even for telnet the same username and password would be used.

If this works, do rate it.

Ahmednaas,

Thanks copy paste works like a charm.

Vaisharm,

The user was created, but it wont let me in. Is it by default a level 15 access? What I see in the config after creating the user:

username (xzy) password 0 (xyz)

Does it mean a level 0 access, or I am mistaken?

I will read the documentation when I get home, hoping I can advance further.

Thanks, and any suggestions are still welcome. What is strange, that now with the username I created it bounces the prompt back, and after 3 tries, it says Authentication Failure. If I try it without a username, and use my secret password, it lets me in, but it never loads properly. It still complains that the browser is unable to talk to the router.

Ben

Ben,

The 0 after password is "encryption-type". It

defines whether the text immediately following is encrypted, and, if so, what type of encryption is used. Currently defined encryption types are 0, which means that the text immediately following is not encrypted, and 7, which means that the text is encrypted using a Cisco-defined encryption algorithm.

Also, the default privilege level is '1'. Level 15 is the level of access permitted by the enable password.

If you are successfully authenticated using just the password then it could be a browser related problem due to some java components may be. I feel that the document that I included in my last post should be helpful.

Hi

Thanks for your answer. I went through the whole documentation, and all seems well. The files are in the webflash, and all other looks good too. I can only imagine this point that the IOS is bad, or corrupt. Do you think that sounds reasonable?

Other than that, here is the portion of the config file which relates to the vty line, could you verify that its correct?

As for browsers I tried it from 2 PC, one with Windows and IE and Firefox, and from a Debian linux with Firefox. Same goes for all.

Thanks

Ben

Ben,

The vty line here is configured for local authentication. So, the username and password configured in global configuration mode would be used. The password specified under vty 0 4 is not used. Also, can you please copy and paste the exact error message that you get along with show run.

- Vaibhav

The 0 in this case indicates a clear text password.

If your password was included in the copy&paste operation, then there might be an extra space unintentionally tagged onto the end of the password. So try to login with an extra space character at the end.

Hi

I have reset the router to factory defaults by rommon1>confreg 0x142 and used the copy-paste to upload a configuration which has no password protection. Now I am able to log in to the router, but the 2 day effort for getting this to work doesnt seem to pay back. I find the web interface less useful than it is in a $50 Linksys router :( Is this normal that the web interface is lacking?

On top, when I clicked on Router Features, and Firewall beneath it, I got a "Feature is not supported" message.

Does it mean that Firewall is not supported by this router?

Thanks

Ben
