The SSH client sends a connection request to the SSH server. The server identifies itself
with a host key. The client encrypts a randomly generated session key with the host key
and server key and sends the result back to the server.
The client automatically saves any new server public keys. In subsequent connections, the
server public key is checked against the saved version on the client computer.
2 Encryption Method
Once the identification is verified, both the client and server must agree on the type of
encryption method to use.
3 Authentication and Data Transmission
After the identification is verified and data encryption activated, a secure tunnel is
established between the client and the server. The client then sends its authentication
information (user name and password) to the server to log in to the server.

44.6.2 SSH Implementation on the ZyWALL

Your ZyWALL supports SSH versions 1 and 2 using RSA authentication and four encryption
methods (AES, 3DES, Archfour and Blowfish). The SSH server is implemented on the
ZyWALL for remote management on port 22 (by default).

44.6.3 Requirements for Using SSH

You must install an SSH client program on a client computer (Windows or Linux operating
system) that is used to connect to the ZyWALL over SSH.

44.6.4 Configuring SSH

Click System > SSH to change your ZyWALL's Secure Shell settings.
It is recommended that you disable Telnet and FTP when you configure SSH
for secure connections.
