Hi

If you want SSH you must use a K9 image you need to upgrade your current IOS version , do not use telnet at all its not secure in anyway , your current IOS does not support ssh

Once you enable SSH, you can access it remotely using PuTTY or any other SSH client.
  1. Setup Management IP. First, make sure you have performed basic network configurations on your switch. ...
  2. Set hostname and domain-name. ...
  3. Generate the RSA Keys. ...
  4. Setup the Line VTY configurations. ...
  5. Create the username password. ...
  6. Verify SSH access.
