Learn How To Configure Telnet Server in Cisco Router?

In this tutorial, you will learn about configuring the Telnet server in the Cisco router. We configure Telnet services on a router to access it from anywhere remotely. If you are at a remote location and you want to configure, manage, and monitor your router from a remote location. Then you can control your router remotely through telnet without your physical presence actually where your router is. So, basically, Telnet is a remote login program that helps us to manage any device remotely. We will learn to configure telnet through the given diagram watch it very carefully and read it step by step.

telnet on cisco router

In this lab, I configured Telnet on Router0. And Router1 is used to connect the network. So to Configure telnet on cisco router, first of all, you have to assign the IP address to PCs and Routers as and where necessary. In the above diagram, you can watch it.

Command for Router0

Router>enable

Router#conf t

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.  

Router(config)#interface FastEthernet0/0

Router(config-if)#ip address 1.0.0.1 255.0.0.0

Router(config-if)#exit

Router(config)#interface FastEthernet0/1

Router(config-if)#ip address 3.0.0.1 255.0.0.0

Router(config-if)#exit

Router(config)#username user1 password user1

Router(config)#username user2 password user2

Router(config)#username user3 password user3

Router(config)#router rip

Router(config-router)#version 2

Router(config-Router)#network 1.0.0.0

Router(config-Router)# network 3.0.0.0

Router(config)#enable password deepak

Router(config)#line vty 0 4

Router(config-line)#password ccna

Router(config-line)#login local

Router(config-line)#exit

(Note - 1. Before configuring Telnet on Router It is compulsory to set the password to your router for security purposes. You can see the highlighted command by which normal level security can be done on the router. 2. Also, give static IP to PCs as shown in the figure. )

 

Command for Router1

Router>enable

Router#conf t

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Router(config)#interface FastEthernet0/0

Router(config)#ip address 2.0.0.1 255.0.0.0

Router(config)#exit

Router(config)#interface FastEthernet0/1

Router(config)#ip address 3.0.0.2 255.0.0.0

Router(config)#exit

Router(config)#router rip

Router(config-router)#version 2

Router(config-Router)#network 2.0.0.0

Router(config-Router)# network 3.0.0.0

(Note - Rip Protocol is used for routing between both routers. You can do your choice.)

Now it's time to whether your Telnet server is configured on the Router or not. So let's check

• Click on any PC connected to switch

• Click on Command Prompt  show in the Dialog box

• Type below command shown in Picture

• If it is correct then You have successfully configured telnet on the router.
