Router telnet question

workfrom925

I know that by default, a router has its vty ports disabled, until telnet password is set on the ports. I just did that on one router. But I was still denied by a second password that was not set up when I enter ‘enable’. What password is that? Is it also required for a telnet session?

==The following is copied from TeraTerm==

R3>ena
R3#telnet 192.168.4.2
Trying 192.168.4.2 ... Open

R2>ena
% No password set
R2>

Looks like you don't have an enable secret password set for the router you are telnetting into. You won't be able to remotely access privileged exec mode without setting a password first.

^^ I concur. You need to configure the enable or enable secret password to get to privileged exec mode.

mdomino has it right. You need that enable secret password set to establish both telnet and ssh connections.
