turn off default telnet

livenliven Member Posts: 918
Ok I got a slew of routers and my lab is progressing nicely...

But that default option on cisco, where the routers automatically try to telnet to something if you enter the name incorrectly DRIVES ME NUTS!!!!

I know this can be turned off, but I can't seem to find the documentation for this.

I still want to use telnet. I will setup SSH later (I use that at work for everything, but here in my basement I don't really need it).

Anyway anyone know how to do this?
encrypt the encryption, never mind my brain hurts.

    When you say name do you mean IP or hostname? If you are using hostnames and you type the incorrect name, i think it will look for a dns server. So try the no ip domain-lookup command.
    There is no place like 127.0.0.1 BUT 209.62.5.3 is my 127.0.0.1 away from 127.0.0.1!

    even better, "transport preferred none" under the line configuration mode will do exactally what you're asking. no ip domain-lookup acheives this by disabling the use of DNS, but what if you still want to be able to ping by hostname?
    The only easy day was yesterday!
