We deleted the previous threads so that there would be no duplicates.
The problem you were having trying to telnet and use the web UI is a pretty common one. The 3300 switches are more security-centered, so they come from the factory fairly well locked down. The problem is that the default authentication method for network access (telnet and web) is the local database. By default, there is no administrator account in the local database.
To manage the switch via the network, you must perform two steps:
Configure an IP address on a VLAN or port (the most common is VLAN 1)
Add a local administrator account to the local database. For an account called admin with a password of "temp", you would use the command "username admin password temp level 15" from global configuration mode.
Once these steps are complete, you should be able to telnet and use the web UI to configure the switch.
I hope this isn't a duplicate. I posted this issue several hours ago and don't see it on the board.
Same problem here - I added a user/password with level 15 access. I can log into the web interface with the new username and the password field blank ! The documentation isn't much help.
How can I set up http access with a password required ? RADIUS and access list requirements are not an option for me.
