Secure-Access Troubleshooting Capstone: SSH VTY Fix

Advanced CCNP management-plane troubleshooting on a single IOS router. You inherit a pre-broken remote-management config where SSH access is completely failing despite a hostname, domain name, and local admin user. Two independent VTY faults are seeded: the wrong transport and an incorrect login method. Your job is to diagnose with show commands, fix both issues, and validate SSH access from the ADMIN workstation.

SSH-Only Management: Disabling Telnet on R1

Harden a Cisco IOS router so remote management is allowed only via SSH. You will remove Telnet from the VTY lines, keep local authentication, and add an idle-session timeout. Verify success from a Linux ADMIN host by confirming SSH works and Telnet is refused.
