For a new switch, you must use console connection to initially configure it.

This is because, a new switch initially has no data and no IP address.
Both telnet and ssh cannot be used to connect the new switch as they both require an IP address to establish the connection.

For a new switch, you must use console connection to initially configure it. This is because, a  new switch initially has no data and no IP address. Both telnet and ssh cannot be used  to connect the new switch as they both require an IP address to establish the connection.

Further Explanation:

When we buy a new switch, it is coming with this configuration: No IP address , No host  name, No default gateway (router) , No sub-net mask, No console password, No Telnet  password, No startup configuration, so you use the console connection to management ports and  IP addresses, password, remote control, in addition to that the Ethernet management ports are  used for out-of-band network management tasks.

“Best practice: At a minimum, you should set passwords for console and VTY access to secure  access through the console port and to enable and secure remote access through Telnet or SSH.  You have two main reasons to have several VTY access lines on a Cisco device:

  • Allowing you to connect to the switch and connect to another device from the switch:  Two VTY lines are needed in this case: one line to connect into the switch and another  line to connect out of the switch to another device.
  • Allowing several administrators to work on the switch: In large networks, more than one  administrator may manage the network. More than one administrator may need to  connect from a remote location to the same switch using Telnet or SSH. This is typical  with large core switches.”

Problem with Telnet and SSH

The problem with Telnet is it transmits the data in plain text.so it insecure for usage according to  security purpose. In contrast, SSH is the secure protocol replacement to Telnet and is used to  encrypt the communication between your administration system and the Cisco device you are  remotely connecting to. SSH can be used to encrypt all communication, including authentication  traffic.
