How do I set telnet password

[jen-li]

I have a route 7206. I used a laptop console connect to configure it. I have both enable and enable secrete passwords show on the configuraton. But when I telnet to it, I can not use the password, it does not take any of them. How do solve the problem. Please help me. I don't like to console connect to it everytime.

Hi Jen,

not sure what you have configured exactly, but I suspect that you need to configure a login method under your VTY lines - for example for a login in the simplest form:

!

line vty 0 4

login

password xxxxx

!

The following URL gives more details on options to configure line access. It depends on your security policy which method you choose (there are a few options)

did you set a password on line(s) vty 0-4 ?

if not, then start there

set telnet password procedure.

router#config t

router(config)#

router(config)#line vty 0 4

router(config-line)#login

router(config-line)#password xxx

router(config-line)#end

router#wr
