NOTICE:
If the protocol supported by VTY user interfaces 0 to 4 is changed from Telnet to SSH, users cannot log in to the device using Telnet after logout. In this case, configure VTY user interfaces 0 to 4 to support all protocols first. Configure STelnet and then run the protocol inbound ssh command to configure VTY user interfaces 0 to 4 to support SSH.

# Log in to the device using the third-party software (such as PuTTY). Enter the device IP address, select SSH, and enter the user name and password to log in to the device through STelnet.
To verify the STelnet login, run the ssh client first-time enable and stelnet 127.0.0.1 commands in system view to log in to the device. If the login page is displayed, the configuration succeeds. If the login page is not displayed, the configuration fails.
