SSH Settings
Secure Shell (SSH) is a cryptographic network protocol for secure data communication network services.
SSH is a way of accessing the command line interface on the network Switch. The traffic is encrypted, so
it is difficult to eavesdrop on as it creates a secure connection within an insecure network such as the
Internet. Even if an attacker was able to view the traffic, the data would be incomprehensible without
the correct encryption key to decode it.
To configure SSH settings for the Switch, first select whether you wish to enable or disable the SSH
service for the Switch. Note that SSH is more secure than the Telnet service when
deciding between which service to use. Enter the session timeout you wish to implement for SSH. Next,
enter the History Count number you wish. The default count is: 128. Enter the number of passwords
requests to be sent across SSH. The default attempts is: 3. Finally, enter the silent time you wish to
implement for the SSH service.
