Telnet
To use Telnet with SSH, you must first enable SSH, as described above.
By default, the Telnet daemon is enabled. To disable the Telnet daemon, use the
[no] ip telnet server enable
command, or disable Telnet in the startup config (Figure 28-15).

VTY Line and Access-Class Configuration
Various methods are available to restrict VTY access in FTOS. These depend on which authentication
scheme you use—line, local, or remote (Table 28-1).
FTOS provides several ways to configure access classes for VTY lines, including:
• VTY Line Local Authentication and Authorization
• VTY Line Remote Authentication and Authorization
VTY Line Local Authentication and Authorization
FTOS retrieves the access class from the local database. To use this feature, follow these steps:
1. Create a username
2. Enter a password
3. Assign an access class
4. Enter a privilege level
