Add A VPN User To Cisco Router

Description:

Follow these steps to add a user to the list of VPN users in a Cisco router.

To Resolve:

1. Open Putty and remote into the router: 10.10.10.254 / Port 22

   username: test
   password: # Enter password
   cisco>enable
   cisco> # Enter password
   cisco# config t
   cisco(config)#group-policy remote attributes
   cisco(config)#username gerry password Pa$$word
   # If you want the user to have privileges, you enter "privilege 15" for root access after the password. 
   # So setup is username/password/privilege in one line.
   # Example:
   # cisco(config)#username gerry password Pa$$word 15
   
   cisco(config)# write mem
   

2. At this point, the user can VPN in. To see your current VPN users, type:

   show config
   

   • Tap the space bar to go to the very bottom and then manually scroll up to see if the user is there.

3. If you ever need to delete a user enter the following:

   username: test
   password: # Enter password
   cisco>enable
   cisco> # Enter password
   cisco# config t
   cisco(config)# group-policy remote attributes
   cisco(config)# no username gerry
   cisco(config)# write mem
   cisco(config)# exit
