By default, console users are not authenticated. For security, change the authentication mode of the

console port immediately after you log in for the first time. For more information about authentication

modes, see "

Configuring authentication mode

."

After you log in through the console port, you can also set login parameters other than the authentication

mode. For more information, see "

Configuring authentication mode

."

The following describes how to configure password authentication:

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] user-interface console 0

[Sysname-ui-console0] authentication-mode password

[Sysname-ui-console0] set authentication password cipher 123

After the configuration is complete, when users log in through the console port, they must enter
authentication password 123.

Logging in through Telnet

You can Telnet to the switch through a VTY user interface for remote management, or use the switch as

a Telnet client to Telnet to other devices.
