Whenever I logged on to the Cisco 2800 series router it takes me directly to priviledged Exec Mode, but I want to logged on to the User Exec prompt (>) then use enable to go to Priviledged Exec Mode (#). How do I set my router to logged on at the User Exec Prompt?

I set passwords for telnet and console log on. I even set the privilege and secret password.

My router is a Cisco 2821,
Version 12.3(8r)T7, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

router> config t

router(config)# enable secret
router(config)# enable password

end with CTL+Z to save configuration.

user mode:

router(config)#line aux 0
router(config-line)#login
router(config-line)#password

same for console and vty

router(config)#line console

etc end with the CTL+Z to save configuration

note: if you automatically log in to exec mode [router#] then type exit to get back to the router> user mode.

Will set the user mode password when I return to work tomorrow. The aim is to give other administrators the password but only to give them user access only.

Much appreciated!

How about creating another user with only a level 7 privilege??

router(config)#username user privilege 7 password userpassword

it will only give him access to user exec mode. and you no longer have to give them your administrator password..

at least, you have separate passwords for type of user access..

hope this helps..

this EXEC is also maintained for routerconfiguration for setting username passwords this control for the users authrization
