hello ,
Does any body have an idea about the pb with telnet acces on the catalyst cisco switches ( 3560 Poe)
In fact i was trying to access a cisco switch by telnet
the switch answers with asking for the password . so after typing the password the connection is closed .
Does any one know the reason , is it a bug ?

this is a print out of the switch answer
TUNMESWU05#11.142.20.133
Trying 11.142.20.133 ... Open

Password:
[Connection to 11.142.20.133 closed by foreign host]
 
What happens if you try an outside connection to the switch? In other words, don't try to connect from another switch.

Can you connect through the console? Are you on TACACS? If you can console in, can you post a scrubbed config?
 
Your line vty 0 15 password is what you need. The switch is configured like

switch>en
switch#conf t
switch(config)#line vty 0 15
switch(config-line)#password bla
switch(config-line)#login
switch(config-line)#end
switch#

So in this example, you would enter "bla" when promted.

The "transport input telnet" is default.
