Configuring Username based Telnet
In order add the security of being able to identify administrators individually,
you need to authenticate using Usernames and password rather than just a
common Password. c
Configure a Local Accounts Database for the Admins just like you did for the
Console port.
Just like the console port, configure the VTY lines for Local Database
authentication instead of simple password authentication.
Configuring Telnet Authentication
Configure a user accounts database for the administrators on both R1 and R2. Create a user admin1 with a password of admin1
and another one called admin2 with a password of admin2.
Configure the VTY Lines for local database authentication instead of the Password authentication.

Verifying Remote Management using Telnet
Telnet into R2 from R1 by using the following
R1#telnet 192.168.12.2
You should be at the User Exec Mode “>”. This is the default mode for Remote Management.
You will be prompted for a password. This is the enable password. This is required to be set for Remote
management. Type cisco111 as the enable password. You Should be at the Privilege Exec Mode “#”.
You can manage the router as if you were connected directly to the console.
