Using Telnet 353
Remember that the VTY password is the user mode password, not the
enable mode password. Watch what happens when I try to go into privileged
mode after telnetting into router 2501B:
2501B>en
% No password set
2501B>
This is a good security feature. You don’t want anyone telnetting onto
your device and then being able to just type the command enable to get into
privileged mode. You must set your enable mode password or enable secret

Telnetting into Multiple Devices Simultaneously
If you telnet to a router or switch, you can end the connection by typing exit
at any time. However, what if you want to keep your connection to a remote
device but still come back to your original router console? To keep the connection,
you can press the Ctrl+Shift+6 key combination, release it, and then
press X.
Here’s an example of connecting to multiple devices from my Todd2509
router console:
Todd2509#telnet 172.16.10.2
Trying 172.16.10.2 ... Open
User Access Verification
Password:
2501B>

In the example above, I telnetted to the 2501B router then typed the password
to enter user mode. I then pressed Ctrl+Shift+6, then X (this doesn’t
show on the screen output). Notice my command prompt is now back at the
Todd2509 router.
You can also telnet into a 1900 switch. However, you must set the enable
mode password level 15 on the switch before you can gain access via the
