Another reason to configure the vty lines is for testing telnet access
and also to shortcut password
recovery if console baud rate is changed or there is a short
exec-timeout period (think exec-ti 0 1). I also recommend enabling the
aux port since the console
cable will work in the aux port for the 2500 series if
something prevents console access.
Always give yourself alternatives.
