Refer to Telnet Configuration withAuthentication Mode Being None, Telnet Configuration with Authentication Mode Being Password,and Telnet Configuration with Authentication Mode Being Scheme for more.3) Connect your PC/terminal and the Switch to an Ethernet, as shown in Figure 3-5. Make sure theport through which the switch is connected to the Ethernet belongs to VLAN 1 and the routebetween your PC and VLAN-interface 1 is reachable.
