Configuring Telnet for Management Access

To enable Telnet for management access, use the serial console to login to the device and perform the following:

The session, by default, opens in the USER EXEC mode (one of the two access levels of the EXEC mode). Access the PRIV EXEC mode from the USER EXEC mode.
```
ap505-13403B>en
ap505-13403B#
```

Access the GLOBAL CONFIG mode from the PRIV EXEC mode.

ap505-13403B#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
ap505-13403B(config)#

Go to ‘default-management-policy‘ mode.

ap505-13403B(config)#management-policy ?
  MANAGEMENT  Name of the management policy to be configured (will be created
              if it does not exist)

ap505-13403B(config)#management-policy default
ap505-13403B(config-management-policy-default)#

Enter Telnet and the port number at the command prompt. Note, the port number is optional. If you do not specify the port, the system, by default, assigns port 23 for Telnet. Commit your changes. Telnet is enabled.
```
ap505-13403B(config-management-policy-default)#telnet
ap505-13403B(config-management-policy-default)#commit write
ap505-13403B(config-management-policy-default)#end
ap505-13403B#exit
```

Connect to the controller through Telnet using its configured IP address. If logging in for the first time, use the following credentials:


User Name	admin
Password	admin123 Note: When logging in for the first time, you will be prompted to change the password. Re-set the password and use it for subsequent logins.

To change password, on subsequent logins, access the default management-policy configuration mode and enter the username, new password, role, and access details.

ap505-13403B(config-management-policy-default)#user testuser password test@123
