I have recomendations from auditors for the following tasks, but I wanted clarification as to the potential problems this may cause.
The first one is to lock down the AUX 0 port. I was told I should run the following commands:
router(config)# line aux 0 router(config-line)# no exec router(config-line)# transport input none router(config-line)# exit
My concern is that when I bring my laptop up to the router and plug into the console port, I won't be able to connect.
The next one is: Specify VTY Protocol
router(config)# line INSTANCE router(config-line)# transport input telnet (or ssh) router(config-line)# exit
If I implement this, do I need to connect to my routers a different way? Currently, I open up a telnet window and telnet from my desktop. This sounds like I would need to access this through different means.
Any help you provide is appreciated.
