SSH

Secure Shell (SSH) is a program allowing secure remote login and secure network services over an
insecure network. It allows a secure login to remote host computers, a safe method of executing
commands on a remote end node, and will provide secure encrypted and authenticated communication
between two non-trusted hosts. SSH, with its array of unmatched security features is an essential tool in
today's networking environment. It is a powerful guardian against numerous existing security hazards that
now threaten network communications.
The steps required to use the SSH protocol for secure communication between a remote PC (the SSH
client) and the Switch (the SSH server) are as follows:
•
Create a user account with admin-level access using the User Accounts window. This is identical to
creating any other admin-level User Account on the Switch, including specifying a password. This
password is used to logon to the Switch, once a secure communication path has been established
using the SSH protocol.
•
Configure the User Account to use a specified authorization method to identify users that are
allowed to establish SSH connections with the Switch using the SSH User Authentication Mode
window. There are three choices as to the method SSH will use to authorize the user, which are
Host Based, Password, and Public Key.
•
Configure the encryption algorithm that SSH will use to encrypt and decrypt messages sent
between the SSH client and the SSH server, using the SSH Authentication Method and Algorithm
Settings window.
•
Finally, enable SSH on the Switch using the SSH Configuration window.
After completing the preceding steps, a SSH Client on a remote PC can be configured to manage the
Switch using a secure, in band connection.
