Remote Management
 It is not practical to configure the Routers using the Console port as the routers
are generally in a Data Center or in the Server Room.

 Remote Management is required to make

c it easy to configure the routers
remotely.

 Remote Management allows an Admin to be able to configure the router from

anywhere as long as the admin has IP connectivity to the router.

 The Admin needs to configure the Router initially to specify the IP Address
information and configure the Remote Management Protocol.

 The 2 protocols that can be used for Remote Management are Telnet or SSH.
Telnet
 Telnet is a simple protocol.

 It is easier to configure Telnet on a Router but it lacks security.

c
 Telnet connections will transmit information in the clear. The router information
can be comprised by intruders that might sniff the transmission as the
information is plain text.

 In order to configured Telnet, you need to configure a Password for the Virtual
Terminal Lines. You can also do authentication based on Username and
Password.

 If the Admin wants to remotely connect into the Privilege exec mode and beyond,
the enable password is also required.
SSH
SSH using encryption to secure the transmission from the router to the
admin device.
c
SSH requires you to create an encryption key.

Unlike Telnet, SSH requires an Username and Password combination.

If the Admin wants to remotely connect into the Privilege exec mode and
beyond, the enable password is also required.
