disable telnet server in cisco router?

Mar 05, 2007 4 Replies

Hello,



I am not used to working with cisco 26XX series routers. Is there an easy way to turn off the telnet server? I have read the manuals and it looks like the easiest way is to write an access list. I am used to equipment supporting a way to turn off the telnet server using something like no telnet server. I will be managing the routers over the console ports only (no need for telnet or ssh).



Thanks,



line vty 0 4 transport input none

or transport input ssh

if you want just ssh access

regards, h.

I would be an inefficient technical approach to disable telnet access on your router, the best is to leave it on, create and ACL for port 23 allowing your management workstations and switches/routers within one hop (so you can shell from one to another if needed).
