Hi I am able to ping switch that I have connected to router but I can not telnet to the ip address of the switch from within the router what have I done wrong.please help
 
switch(config)#line vty 5 15
switch(config-line)#password blablabla
switch(config-line)#exit
switch(config)#enable password blablabla

You must set a password on the virtual terminal. If you want to telnet to the router, you must also set a password on line vty 0 4 as well. Hope this helps.

also make sure you set the ip address on the management vlan of the switch.

Oh---I forgot---after you set the password in line config mode, you must also incorporate the command "login".
