How can i disable telnet

[gencer]

I was wondering if it is possible to disable telnet access on e0 for a cisco 1601 series router. any ideas or solutions welcomed.

Thanks.

Instead of configuring "login local" try "login" and you won't have telnet access; I'd rather use access-lists though, 'cause I access the routers via telnet.


vty 0 4
login
password whatever


hope it helps.

Or if you do not set a password no one will be able to telnet the box. Otherwise yes an access list or a dynamic access list if your location changes works well.

Hi
The proper way to deny telnet to the router would be to issue:

transport input none

On your vty ports. This will disable all character mode access to the VTY ports. If you wish to use ssh or something like that type:

transport input ssh

That would enable ssh (if your IOS has it) while disabling any telnet access.
