VTY Password: Enter the Virtual Terminal or initial login password here

Enable Password: Enter the enable mode or privileged password here

Privilege Level: You may set the enable mode privilege level if required. This is typically not required and so is best left blank. On a Cisco router, there are 16 privilege levels (0 to 15). Standard enable mode puts you in level 15.

This is appended to the enable command when it is sent to the device, so if it is present and not required it may cause an error when the device tries to authenticate enable mode.

Console Password: Enter the console password if using a direct COM port connection.

Username: Enter the Username (eg AAA, TACACS, RADIUS or local username/password etc)

Password: Enter the Password

Initial login requires username/password: tick box if initial login to this device requires a username and password.

Enable mode requires username/password: tick box if login to enable mode on this device requires a username and password. The Username from the Username field is used along with the Enable password.
