Configuring Username based Telnet
 In order add the security of being able to identify administrators individually,
you need to authenticate using Usernames and password rather than just a
common Password. c

 Configure a Local Accounts Database for the Admins just like you did for the
Console port.

 Just like the console port, configure the VTY lines for Local Database
authentication instead of simple password authentication.
Configuring Telnet Authentication
 Configure a user accounts database for the administrators on both R1 and R2. Create a user admin1 with a password of admin1
and another one called admin2 with a password of admin2.
 Configure the VTY Lines for local database authentication instead of the Password authentication.
