I'm having a strange problem with one of a number of 2960 switches. When I try to telnet into the switch, i'm able to connect and I get the correct prompt for the login credentials. however as soon as I try typing the login credentials, it gives the error 'Network error: software caused connection abort' and knocks me out.
Additional points:
I've checked 'line vty' commands on config and it is fine.
I don't believe it is the case of adjusting the seconds of keepalives on putty because I've also tried using telnet client from Windows cmd and have the same problem.
Any suggestions please?
