SSH Server

The SSH server feature enables a SSH client to make a secure, encrypted connection to a Nexus 5000
Series switch. SSH uses strong encryption for authentication. The SSH server in the Nexus 5000 Series
switch will interoperate with publicly and commercially available SSH clients.
The user authentication mechanisms supported for SSH are RADIUS, TACACS+, and the use of locally
stored user names and passwords.
