– setting up ssh – since telnet sends the information in clear text, make sure that
telnet is disabled to secure the switch. Do not telnet to the switch to disable telnet. Preferred
method is to do that via the console or using SWM. The client access is not shown here.
Commonly an application like PUTTY is used to access the switch via ssh. Use the show
console command to verify telnet is turned off
