Configuring Telnet session:

Consider a topology:

Configuring Telnet session

 

In this topology we are going to access the CLI of Router0 using PC0

Configuring PC0:

pc0 terminal

 

Configuring Switch0:

interface FastEthernet0/1
 switchport mode access

Configuring Router1:

interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
 ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.252
 no shutdown
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1
 ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.252
 no shutdown

Configuring Router0:

interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
 ip address 192.168.2.2 255.255.255.252
 no shutdown

Configuring Telnet on Router0:

enable password cisco
line vty 0 4
 password cisco
 login

Configure default route on Router0:

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.2.1

Router0’s routing table:

show ip route
router CLI

 

Now, we can access Route0’s CLI using PC0.

On PC0’s terminal execute the command:

telnet 192.168.2.2

After this you need to enter the line vty password which is Cisco in this case.

pc0 terminal

 

Now, checking the changes on Router0:

router CLI
