Telnet
To use Telnet with SSH, rst enable SSH, as previously described.
By default, the Telnet daemon is enabled. If you want to disable the Telnet daemon, use the following command, or disable Telnet in the
startup cong. To enable or disable the Telnet daemon, use the [no] ip telnet server enable command.
The Telnet server or client is VRF-aware. You can enable a Telnet server or client to listen to a specic VRF by using the vrf vrf-
instance-name parameter in the telnet command. This capability enables a Telent server or client to look up the correct routing table
and establish a connection.
Example of Using Telnet for Remote Login
DellEMC(conf)#ip telnet server enable
DellEMC(conf)#no ip telnet server enable
VTY Line and Access-Class Conguration
Various methods are available to restrict VTY access in . These depend on which authentication scheme you use — line, local, or remote.
Table 77. VTY Access
Authentication Method VTY access-class support? Username access-class
support?
Remote authorization support?
Line YES NO NO
Local NO YES NO
TACACS+ YES NO YES (with version 5.2.1.0 and
later)
RADIUS YES NO YES (with version 6.1.1.0 and
later)
provides several ways to congure access classes for VTY lines, including:
• VTY Line Local Authentication and Authorization
• VTY Line Remote Authentication and Authorization
VTY Line Local Authentication and Authorization
retrieves the access class from the local database.
To use this feature:
1 Create a username.
2 Enter a password.
3 Assign an access class.
4 Enter a privilege level.
You can assign line authentication on a per-VTY basis; it is a simple password authentication, using an access-class as authorization.
Congure local authentication globally and congure access classes on a per-user basis.
can assign dierent access classes to dierent users by username. Until users attempt to log in, does not know if they will be assigned a
VTY line. This means that incoming users always see a login prompt even if you have excluded them from the VTY line with a deny-all
