If you want, you could supplement Murilo's configuration with the following to restrict Telnet access to a specific management station, and establish an idle timeout on the VTY lines:

access-list 100 remark --- VTY access from Network Management Station.

access-list 100 permit tcp host 192.168.100.20 any eq 23 log

access-list 100 deny ip any any log

Note: Replace 192.168.100.20 with the address of your management station.

Note: TCP port 23 above, is the Telnet port.

Note: Make sure you use a different ACL number if 100 is already in use.

line vty 0 4

access-class 100 in

exec-timeout 9 0

Your interface ACL (if implemented) will also need to accommodate inbound Telnet.

Olakunle: There is no need to double-post. Please select the most appropriate forum, and post once.

also consider using SSH instead if your router supports it
