A network technician opens PuTTY to connect to a Cisco switch. The technician sets PuTTY with the IP address of the switch and port 23. However, connections to the switch are always declined. What is a possible cause for this issue?
- The transport input ssh command has been configured on vty lines.
- Only Telnet is allowed to connect to the switch.
- The domain name of the switch should be used in PuTTY.
- An ACL is applied on the console port that blocks the PC that the technician uses.
Explanation: Telnet uses TCP port 23 and SSH uses TCP port 22. If vty lines are configured with the transport input ssh command, only SSH connections are allowed.
