Pierre,
I see that Jorge Moreira managed to answer your question about vty passwords
on the Cisco Catalyst 1900 series switch. What threw me (and Rik as well)
was your inclusion of "XL" after 1912--the Cisco Catalyst 1912 (and 1924)
switches are not part of the XL series. I needed a few minutes to make sure
that Cisco hadn't come out with a new XL series switch for which I was
unaware before I re-responded to your query.
As you've discovered, Jorge is correct--it's the "enable" password on the
Catalyst 1900 series switch that is used to enable telnet access. But since
we're discussing password usage on the 1900 series... here's a bit of a
brainteaser for you, the answer for which I had included in last month's
CCNA LAN Switching paper on CertificationZone:
You'll notice that when you access your Catalyst switch via the console
port, that without issuing any sort of password, you're immediately able to
access several commands on the switch -- you've immediately got access to
"user mode". In some organizations, this can present a security risk. Can
you set a "user-mode" password for the Catalyst 1900 series switch? If so,
how?

Yeah, you're right! I read 1912 but thought 2912. Been burning the candle
at both ends and getting too fatigued to read! ;-}
Thanks for straightening me out!

The latest version for the 1900 series is 9.00.04
Check out
http://sj-webadv.cisco.com/cgi-bin/webisapi.dll?Session=438003,U=1596,ST=51,
N=7,K=8577,P=Z,Case=525
it requires cco access.
I am not finding any information on a 1912XL though. maybe he mistyped and
meant 2800 or 2900 XL.??

Well, if the IOS version really says 9.xxx, then it is far from the latest
version. I've been putting 12.05(1) on these switches, although there may
be newer yet available.
The error message you get indicates that the VTY connection requires a
password but you haven't as of yet set one. This is accomplished by
entering "login" (default) under the VTY config. Set a password and you
should be able to login.
You say you can't see any VTY config info. Very strange... Look down
towards the bottom for "line vty 0 4". If you see this, then that is the
VTY config stuff. It's possible, if your IOS really is 9.x, that this may
be very different. I personally have never seen IOS below 10.x.

Hi All,
I can't telnet into my 1912XL-EN Switch. I am using the latest IOS (9.00...)
I get the error message, "password required but none set".
There is no option on this switch that I could find for setting VTY lines
options. Am I doing something wrong?
