Q: How Do I Configure Telnet Login?

A: In Figure1, users want to configure and manage devices easily. To meet this requirement, AAA authentication can be configured on the server for Telnet users, and a security policy can be configured to ensure that only the users matching the security policy can log in to the devices.
