Troubleshooting Interfaces

Hi,

Here’s an example for the console and SSH:

Configuring Cisco router for the first time

Here’s an example to enable telnet server on your router or switch:

R1(config)#line vty 0 4
R1(config-line)#transport input telnet
R1(config-line)#password cisco123
R1(config-line)#transport input 
R1(config-line)#login

The configuration above will only ask for the password (cisco123). It’s also possible to use usernames/passwords instead:

R1(config)#username admin password cisco123

R1(config)#line vty 0 4
R1(config-line)#login local

And you can protect it with an access-list:

R1(config)#access-list 1 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
R1(config)#line vty 0 4
R1(config-line)#access-class 1 in

Hope this helps.

Rene
