The TELNET SET_UP MENU allows telnet connections to be made to other routers in the network.
1 - Telnet Access
The Telnet Access option allows LAN/WAN network devices to make Telnet connections to this router for
management. Once the connection is established, the network device will be presented with the menu interface for
configuration management and statistics viewing.
Default: [enabled]
Considerations:
When a Telnet connection is made to a router, ensure that the Telnet session is in character mode, and carriage return
padding (or translation) is set to NULL (or no translation). The extra character sent when carriage return padding is
on will cause some displays to behave erratically.
Note: A Telnet connection from another IP address is allowed three attempts to login with the correct password. After
three failures, that IP address will be rejected for the following ten minutes if any further attempts are made and the
following alarm message is logged and displayed on the console:
Alarm: Possible intruder 192.168.89.65 exceeded password attempts limit
