Password authentication enabled Stelnet server
configuration example
Network requirements

, the switch acts as the Stelnet server and uses password authentication. The
username (

) and password (
aabbcc
) of the client are saved on the switch.
Establish an Stelnet connection between the host and the switch, so the client can log in to the switch
to configure and manage the switch as a network administrator.
