First you'll need to create usernames and passwords using the username
command (e.g. username routeradmin privilege 15 password
routerAdminPass08). The privilige command gives the username
administrative privileges (priv 1 is user and priv 15 is admin and
privs 2 through 14 are customizable).
Second you instruct the console and telnet virtual terminals to use
local for authentication using the login command.
Example
line con 0
login local
line vty 0 4
login local
This configuration tells the router and switch to use the local
account database for usernames and passwords. The better idea would
be to implement RADIUS or TACACS+ but that's a bit more complex and
requires a RADIUS or TACACS+ server.
