telnet to fresh cisco router

[totardo.tobing11]

Hi masters,

1. Why cisco is not like tp-link wireless router that have a default-ip that can HTTP-ing / telnet directly out-of-box using Ethernet cable not Console cable?

2. How to telnet/manage fresh cisco router 891 without console cable (I can't acquire it yet)? I have acquired the default ip add. of the router from the manual page: 10.10.10.1 and it is pingable but I can't telnet, SSH, HTTP and HTTPS, they fail.

3. Is it a console cable is a MUST to setup/configure/manage a out-of-box router?

Thanks

#1 only Cisco could say for sure, but likely because many Cisco devices are "professional" grade, not home units.  So, they aren't as user friendly.

#2 Often, you cannot.  If the device has a dedicated (Ethernet) management port, its default configuration might pick up a DHCP IP and allow you to telnet to the device on it.

#3 Often it is.  New out-of-the-box Cisco devices include (or at least used to) a console cable in the box.
