Hi,

You can do this in 3 fashions:

1. Just use VTY and enable passwords.

2. Use local usernames and passwords on the router.

3. Use AAA.

The first case is easy:

enable secret xxxx

line vty 0 4

login

password xxxxx

The second case:

username xxxx password xxxx

enable secret xxxx

line vty 0 4

login local

The third case, i think that Edwin has provided a nice document for it.

HTH,

I guess something like this could work:

aaa new-model

aaa authentication login default local

aaa authorization exec default local

aaa authorization commands 15 default local

username testuser secret testpassw

username testuser2 secret testpassw2

and so on.

hope this helps.
