How do you access routers at work
I've seen different ways that this is done. At my current and previous work we use a telnet program to access the Cisco 3800 and Cisco 2800 series models but use an entirely separate software (web-based or something) to access the Cisco 7200 interface.
How do you all access router environments at work? just curious

Haven't used telnet for years, I sue SSH for 80-90% of the tasks I do, or basic console access when building them up. I am surprised a CCNP uses telnet
I also use management tools that allow you to mange multiple devices and see over view of the network. (CISCO PRIME)
I don't like the device based web tools, they don't have the full function you get from CLI and they create messy configuration, so that when you have to go on to the device using the CLI to do specific config it is a night are to work out whats going on.
I find CLI and text configs is very handy for configuring, while a good management tool is needed for monitoring the network as a whole.- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. Albert Einstein

I also use 95% of the time SSH to login to our routers. The other 5% I use CCP just for the fun of it. -

SSH/TACACS+ is preferred.Modularity and Design Simplicity:
Think of the 2:00 a.m. test—if you were awakened in the
middle of the night because of a network problem and had to figure out the
traffic flows in your network while you were half asleep, could you do it? -

Some Clients Telnet, others SSH. It just depends what they have going on in there environment. When I'm building out a new network for a customer, its always SSH.Currently Reading

SSH/Radius. I usually use Putty Connection Manager to login to each device. Nothin' fancy.2017 Certification Goals:

Usually SSH, but sometimes via web interface. Really depends on the equipment. I work for an MSP, so I see some weird setups sometimes from previous consultants a lot of times. Only use console access when I can't SSH or when I am setting up a device.
I'm surprised you use telnet also. You should fix that

Sometimes I console in directly, sometimes I SSH, sometimes I telnet, sometimes I SSH into our term servers then telnet from the term server to the tty lines on the term server.A.A.S. in Networking Technologies

Go with super putty, he tabs are great.
https://code.google.com/p/superputty/
just a GUI that wraps around putty to provide a nice tabbed interface. Now comes bundled with GNS3 and I find it alwmost as good as SecureCRT, but unlike that it is free.- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. Albert Einstein

I agree on SuperPutty. I had tried Putty Tab Manager and a few others, but Super Putty seems to be the best free version I have found.WGU - BS IT: ND&M | Start Date: 12/1/12, End Date 5/7/2013

How do you use Vim to connect to a router?
People were mentioning editors as well.
I use urxvt-tabbed to get tabs for ssh/anything else. Works well. -

A Nintendo DS works with WPA encryption, or open system - I know that for sure. It didn't work with WEP 64-bit, if that's how you're set up.
