Table 5 shows the Telnet server and client configuration required for a successful Telnet login.
Table 5 Telnet server and Telnet client configuration requirements
Device role Re
uirements
Telnet server
Enable Telnet server.
Assign an IP address to an interface of the device, and make sure the Telnet
server and client can reach each other. By default, only interface
GigabitEthernet 0/0 is assigned an IP address (192.168.0.1/24).
Configure the authentication mode and other settings.
Telnet client
Run the Telnet client program.
Obtain the IP address of the interface on the server.
To control Telnet access to the device operating as a Telnet server, configure login authentication and
user privilege levels for Telnet users.
By default, password authentication applies to Telnet login. To allow Telnet access to the device after you
enable the Telnet server, you must configure scheme authentication.
The following are authentication modes available for controlling Telnet logins:
• None—Requires no authentication and is insecure.
• Password—Requires a password for accessing the CLI. If your password was lost, log in to the
device through the console port to re-set the password.
• Scheme—Uses the AAA module to provide local or remote authentication. You must provide a
username and password for accessing the CLI. If the password configured in the local user
database was lost, log in to the device through the console port and re-set the password. If the
username or password configured on a remote server was lost, contact the server administrator for
help.
