Configuring Cisco Telnet Password

[SCHTUDE]

Can anyone tell me how to disable the Telnet password on a 3500XL series switch? Also, how would I set one on one that requires it. Thanks a bunch!

This is off the top of my head so it could be wrong.

line vty 0 x //where x is the last configurable port

no password

Without a password the interface is not accessible. In order to use a telnet connection to your switch you need some password or the interface is disabled. The interface is vty 0 x meanint virtual terminal 0 through x. Zero through 4 is common. You can run "sho run" to find out how many vty interfaces your running.

line con 0
transport input none
line aux 0
line vty 0 4
password (omitted)
login
!

Come to think of it, the command could be:

no password (password)
or
no login

none of that worked.

line vty 0 4
no login

login (if they need it)

set a password first if you need telnetlet set the login command
