you shouldn't even be running a telnet service, ssh is the way to go

my teacher says use telnet to test connectivity, theres 16 routers in the class... and telnet tests data link, transport and network layers so thats the best way ehh

you also have to tell it to use that access list up in your policy maps somehwere

ill ask my teacher whether we will be learning that shit, i dont want to go into industry without that

Telnet is a great tool to test if a port is open (telnet {address} 25 to see if smtp is working, etc) but it's a shitty way to remote into your device and manage it. SSH does the same exact thing but encrypted and reasonably secure. If you leave a telnet port open to the internet you're going to get hacked within an hour.
