Doesn't Cisco realize that telnet is a security risk on Cisco devices
especially for us who often has to telnet to the router remotely to
fix/troubleshoot problems? Because username and password are traveling
across the Internet in CLEAR TEXT, the risk is too great. I work for
a company that would not allow us to telnet to the router from the
Internet to our company routers and switches. I know that SSH (version
1) is available on IOS 12.1.x (only on 7000 and GSR platforms). Why
don't they just implement SSH on all platforms? It is not that difficult
to do this (in my opinion). Because of SSH lacking in Cisco IOS, I have
to drive all the way to work to troubleshoot when there is problem.
This is suck. You could implement all access-list all you like; however,
the problem is that telnet will no encrypt information especially username
and password across the Internet. SSH is widely implemented on
almost all of Unix flavor and Juniper as well. How difficult is it to
implement it on Cisco IOS?
Anyone disagree?
