Logging in through SSH

Introduction

Secure Shell (SSH) offers an approach to log into a remote device securely. By providing encryption and
strong authentication, it protects devices against attacks such as IP spoofing and plain text password
interception. The device supports SSH, and you can log in to the device through SSH to remotely manage
and maintain the device, as shown in
Figure 17 SSH login diagram
The following table shows the configuration requirements of SSH login.
