SSH login supports the following two modes: Password Authentication Mode and Key
Authentication Mode. You can choose one according to your needs:
■ Password Authentication Mode: Username and password are required, which are both
admin by default.
■ Key Authentication Mode (Recommended): A public key for the switch and a private key
for the client software (PuTTY) are required. You can generate the public key and the
private key through the PuTTY Key Generator.
