Remarks
N/A
By default, the Telnet server function is
disabled.
Use either command.
A setting in user line view is applied
only to the user line. A setting in user
line class view is applied to all user lines
of the class.
A non-default setting in either view takes
precedence over a default setting in the
other view. A non-default setting in user
line view takes precedence over a
non-default setting in user line class
view.
A setting in user line view takes effect
immediately and affects the online user.
A setting in user line class view does not
affect online users and takes effect only
for users who log in after the
configuration is completed.
By default, password authentication is
enabled for VTY lines.
In VTY line view, this command is
associated with the protocol inbound
command:
•
If the setting of either command is
not the default in VTY line view, the
setting of the other command in VTY
line view takes effect.
•
If the settings of both commands are
the defaults in VTY line view, the
settings of the commands in VTY line
class view take effect.
By default, no password is set.
By default, a VTY line user is assigned
the user role network-operator.
