SSH should be enabled by default and telnet disabled by default. However ssh needs secure keys to be generated, which would have to be done locally. Was SSH working previously at all?
Ugh, twice I've responded and both times the reply disappeared even though the page said it was accepted.
Turns out the problem was a firewall rule which restricted switch access to specific IPs, and the servers I used for testing were not in the allowed list. Was able to reach the switch from one of the allowed servers, and then I added my servers to the allowed list. I did what I needed, then disabled telnet again. Thank you for your input.
