5.3 Logging in to

Devices Using

Telnet

A user accesses the network

using a user terminal and

logs in to the device using

Telnet to perform local or

remote configuration. The

target device authenticates

the user using the

configured login

parameters.

The Telnet login mode

facilitates remote device

management and

maintenance.

By default, a user cannot log in to the

device directly using Telnet. To enable

Telnet login, log in to the device locally

using the console port and perform the

following configuration tasks:

l Configure the IP address of the

management network port on the

device and ensure that a reachable

route exists between the user terminal

and the device. By default, an IP

address is not configured on the

device.

l Configure the user authentication

mode of the VTY user interface. By

default, password authentication is

used for the VTY user interface.

l Configure the user access level of the

VTY user interface. By default, the

user access level of the VTY user

interface is 0.

l Enable the Telnet server function. By

default, the Telnet server function is

enabled.
