subnet than the device, make sure the two devices have routes to reach each other.

Remarks
By default, both Telnet and SSH are supported.
This configuration is effective only for users who
log in to the user lines after the configuration is
completed.
In VTY line view, this command is associated
with the authentication-mode command. If you
specify a non-default value for only one of the
two commands in VTY line view, the other
command uses the default setting, regardless of
the setting in VTY line class view.
By default, pressing Ctrl+C terminates a task.
By default, the terminal display type is ANSI.
By default, up to 24 lines is displayed on a
screen.
A value of 0 disables the function.
By default, the buffer saves 10 history
commands.
By default, the session idle timeout is 10 minutes
for all user lines.
If there is no interaction between the device and
the user within the idle timeout, the system
automatically terminates the user connection on
the user line.
If you set the idle timeout to 0, the session will not
be aged out.
By default, no automatically executed command
is specified.
