Before you can access the system with Telnet, you must either configure a
password for Telnet access or disable the password requirement from the
management console. In the following example, you disable the
password.
1 Enter the enable command.

The system is now in Privileged Exec mode.
2 Enter the configure command.
host1#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
host1(config)#

3 Enter the line command.
host1(config)#line vty 0 4
host1(config-line)#

Note: In this example, you disabled the password requirement, but you can
choose to set a password instead. See the E-Series System Basics Configuration
Guide, Chapter 6, Passwords and Security for information on setting a password.
