Mistypes holding up work
This is often an annoying problem. Mistype a command and the router thinks you just typed a host name. For example, here we just mistyped the word “show”. We didn’t want to telnet to a device named “shwo”.
MyRouter#shwo
Translating "shwo"...domain server (10.1.1.2)
% Unknown command or computer name, or unable to find computer addressThe way to handle this is to change the preferred transport method.
! Console port
line con 0
transport preferred none
! VTY Ports
line vty 0 5
transport preferred noneProblem is fixed
