Hello guys! Who now, how I can to rise (do some advance) security on console port. Command "no service password-recovery" don't work. IOS on my switch : /c2500-i-l.121-18.bin and I must not to update IOS. Maybe exist some methods to make advanced security, because some people crashed config from switch through console and I want to block this with maximum security, but not to block the port. For example I have done : "exec-timeout 0 1" maybe I can do some think else?
 
How have you tested "no service password-recovery"? It will not show up in the config...

but on another router I haven't this problem:

slon(config)#no service password-recovery
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

slon(config)#

this command was applied and I didn't saw some errors, but not visible in running config, this I now.
 
That image will not support the command. You can try

slon(config)#login block-for xxx

but I doubt that will work. You can lock the door to the wiring closet ;)

Yes, It's it's good idea for locking door to the wiring closet))) But this router stay no in our wiring closet, and some very clever man had a good idea to practice something whis my router... I have done "exec-timeout 0 1" and "login" without some password... I think It's will be ok, but maybe you have also some ideas for blocking.

slon(config)#login block-for xxx - it's not bad, but I now it is only for vty lines?
