Overview
Not all control systems can navigate a username/password prompt. For those that can't, we can disable the switch login to go straight to the interface.
If you are using a Driver from Just Add Power, the switch must have login enabled.
These instructions work for all supported Cisco switches.
Disable Login
These steps must be performed via the command-line interface of the switch. Send these commands followed by a carriage-return:
config aaa authentication enable default none aaa authentication login default none end copy run start
Confirm the last command with a 'y' and log out of the switch. The next login will go to User EXEC prompt > automatically.
Re-enable Login
To enable the login prompt (setting the switch to default login state) you can reset the switch to default or send these commands followed by a carriage-return:
config aaa authentication enable default local enable aaa authentication login default local end copy run start
Confirm the last command with a 'y' and log out of the switch. The next login will ask for a username/password and then go straight to the Privileged EXEC prompt #.
