Telnet

[wpvanzccna]

Hi Their,

I'm relative new in the Cisco world.I'm studying for the CCent.I'have the following questions:

1) When I want to telnet into one of my switches or router, I get the following message: "Connection to 10.10.1.2 closed by foreign host". Why do I get this message and what can I do to fix it?

2) A cabling issue. Is it possible to convert V35 interface to X21 by only using the pinouts? In other words M34 Winchester male (DTE) connector to DB-15 male (DCE) connector. If possible, where can I find these pinouts? If not possible, where can I find the pinouts to convert M34 to DB-24, in other words V24 interface, and from V24 to x21?

Thank you

Wimpie

Hi,

Question2 I cannot answer.

Question1 requires more detail. Can you show me your "line vty 0 4" section of the running config. Are you able to ping the device? Is telnet enabled in the running configuration? Why not using SSH ?

Best regards

Philipp

Hi there,

Have you set a password under your VTY lines? By default, you cannot telnet to a switch or router until you have configured a telnet password...

Also can't help with Q2 I'm afraid!

Cheers
