Here is a link describing the transport input command as well as other ways to secure your router.

configure "login" and "no password" under line vty 0 4

eg;

line vty 0 4

Hi,

Yes you can do that also, but if someone port scans you, port 23 still will show as being open. To disable that port from showing up in port scans, you enter the command “transport input none” in your line vty 0 4 config.

Just good information to know…..
