Login Failing on Nortel Switch (ESU 1800)

Hi all,

Firstofall, sorry for coming up with a question on my first posting. I'm quite sure this is just stupidity on my side, but definitely I'm needing some help :)

The device I'm trying to connect/backup is some Nortel Metro Ethernet Switch. I've used the Type Nortel.Switch.Passport and defined the username / password in the AAA username / AAA password fields. I can see in wireshark that KiwiCat succesfully logs in, but it just doesn't notice, it also shows a login in the switch log.

 

The login banner / prompts look like the following:

*********************************************

* Software Release 2.0.2.1                  *
*********************************************
Login: rwa
Password: ***
 $

There's a whitespace behind Login:, Password: and one before and behind the $ prompt.

 

 The same in debug log

 I have tried a few things like setting VTY Prompt to 'Password: ' and also to ' $ ' but it all won't work for me :)

 

Can I have some help from one of you?
