Configuring Telnet Access

By default, the ProCurve Secure Router requires a login password for Telnet
sessions. Unless you configure a password for a Telnet line or disable the
login option, no one can establish a Telnet session with the ProCurve Secure
Router. This security helps protect your organization against unauthorized
users who might try to access your ProCurve Secure Router and damage or
get information about your WAN.
In addition to configuring a password for Telnet access, you must configure a
password for the enable mode. If you do not configure a password for the
enable mode, you can establish a Telnet session and enter the basic mode
context. However, you cannot move beyond the basic mode context.
You can configure five Telnet lines, which are numbered 0 to 4. If you configure
all five lines, a maximum of five people can establish a Telnet session with the
ProCurve Secure Router at one time.
Configuring the Telnet Lines. Configuring Telnet access is a three-step
process:
1. Access the Telnet line configuration mode context.
2. Enter the password that authorized users must supply when they start a
Telnet session.
3. Configure a password for the enable mode context, if you have not done
so already.
From the global configuration mode context, enter the following command:
Syntax: line telnet <0–4>
For example, if you want to configure line 0, enter:
ProCurve(config)# line telnet 0
The ProCurve Secure Router prompt will show that you are in the Telnet line 0
configuration mode context:
ProCurve(config-telnet0)#
