Telnet Configuration With Authentication Mode Being None; Configuration Procedure; Configuration Example - H3C S5100-SI Operation Manual

To improve security and prevent attacks to the unused Sockets, TCP 23 and TCP 22, ports for Telnet
and SSH services respectively, will be enabled or disabled after corresponding configurations.
If the authentication mode is none, TCP 23 will be enabled, and TCP 22 will be disabled.
If the authentication mode is password, and the corresponding password has been set, TCP 23
will be enabled, and TCP 22 will be disabled.
If the authentication mode is scheme, there are three scenarios: when the supported protocol is
specified as telnet, TCP 23 will be enabled; when the supported protocol is specified as ssh, TCP
22 will be enabled; when the supported protocol is specified as all, both the TCP 23 and TCP 22
port will be enabled.
