Telnet question

[leowls]

Hi, if I configure telnet on an "management-interface fastethernet interface", will this command take precedence over the existing vty command configured on the "line vty 0 4" level? Or will the device flag an error and ask the existing vty command to be removed first?

Still your question is not clear to me, explain more or show us same config you looking to config ?

Hi balaji,
Supposed I have the following configured:

line vty 0 4
transport input ssh telent

As of now there's no problem from telnetting into the router. Then I added in the following commands for security reasons:

(config)#control-plane host
(config-cp-host)#management-interface fastethernet 0/0.31 allow telnet

Since now I have telnet configured at 2 places in the router, which will take precedence over the other?

I would expect the control-plane to take precedence. You do not necessarily need to remove the line vty commands. They enable telnet and ssh access to the router. But the control-plane commands will limit the access.
