Telnet Password Enabling

[Anand Narayana]

Hi,

how to set telnet password via network? i know that we can set telnet password via network thru CNA, when "enable password" is set. but is it possible for cisco 1700 series routers to set telnet password? bcos CNA doesn't for routers, any other options?

If you are trying to set a password on Telnet access go to config mode and do the follwoing:

line vty 0 4

login

password (your password)

See the following website for addtional options.

Hope this helps

Hi,

i know how to set telnet password via console, but that is not my question, my question is i wanted to set telnet passowrsd thru network without getting in to console.

Hi Anand,

Till the time you have set the telnet password how will you get into the box to configure it. You have to do it via console or via NMS (network management system) if you have one in your network.

Or else there is no way you can access the box without console.
