Configuration procedure
Method 1: Using local authentication scheme.
# Enter system view.
<device> system-view
# Adopt AAA authentication for Telnet users.
[device] user-interface vty 0 4
[device-ui-vty0-4] authentication-mode scheme
[device-ui-vty0-4] quit
# Create and configure a local user named "telnet".
[device] local-user telnet
[device-luser-telnet] service-type telnet
[device-luser-telnet] password simple aabbcc
[device-luser-telnet] quit
# Configure an authentication scheme for the default “system” domain.
[device] domain system
[device-isp-system] scheme local

Method 2: using local RADIUS server
This method is similar to the remote authentication method described in Remote RADIUS
Authentication of Telnet/SSH Users. However, you need to
