8.1.3 Configuring SSH Client

There are several types of SSH client software, such as PuTTY and FreeBSD. You
should first configure the client's connection with the server. The basic configuration
tasks on client include:
Specifying server IP address.
Selecting SSH protocol. The client supports the remote connection protocols link
Telnet, Rlogin and SSH. To set up SSH connection, you must select SSH protocol.
Choosing SSH version. The switch currently supports SSH Server 1.5, so you
have to choose 1.5 or earlier version.
Specifying RSA private key file. If you specify RSA authentication for the SSH user,
you must specify RSA private key file. The RSA key, which includes the public key
and private key, are generated by the client software. The former is configured in
the server (switch) and the latter is in the client.
The following description takes the PuTTY as an example.
I. Specifying server IP address
Start PuTTY program and the client configuration interface pops up.

In the Host Name (or IP address) text box key in the IP address of the switch, for
example, 10.110.28.10. You can also input the IP address of an interface in UP state,
but its route to SSH client PC must be reachable.
