It is the
most common way to log in to a switch through its console port, and also the basis
to configure other login methods.

Figure 1-1 Network diagram for configuring Telnet login using console port
As shown in Figure
1-1, the serial port of a PC/terminal is connected to
the console port of the switch using a console cable. The current user logs
into the switch from the AUX user interface on the console port to configure
Telnet login. The current user level is 3, that is, the manage level.
