thinking about it, probably the reason its not accepting the login command is because you haven’t set a username or password.

on the switch I have, I must set a password but its not necessary to set a username, it could be that older IOS versions are a little different

switch(config)#write
should be at the privileged exec prompt;
switch#write
or use this (they do the same thing);
switch#copy running-config startup-config

for telnet you’ll need to set a username and password, you never set one and thats the problem

try this to see what parameters are available for login;
switch(config-line)#login ?

to see which port your want to telnet…

switch# show cdp neighbour

this comand will help your to see which port your switch had connected and what ip of the port that has connected to switch. Then used that ip to telnet.
