Step 3
: Login to the switch.
Login to the Telnet configuration interface. Valid login name and password are
required, otherwise the switch will reject Telnet access. This is a method to protect the
switch from unauthorized access. As a result, when Telnet is enabled for configuring and
managing the switch, username and password for authorized Telnet users must be
configured with the following command: username <username> privilege <privilege>
[password (0|7) <password>]. To open the local authentication style with the following
command: authentication line vty login local. Privilege option must exist and just is 15.
Assume an authorized user in the switch has a username of ―test‖, and password of ―test‖,
the configuration procedure should like the following:
Switch>enable
Switch#config
Switch(config)#username test privilege 15 password 0 test
Switch(config)#authentication line vty login local
Enter valid login name and password in the Telnet configuration interface, Telnet user
will be able to enter the switch‘s CLI configuration interface. The commands used in the
Telnet CLI interface after login is the same as that in the Console interface.
