Configuring SSH login

SSH offers a secure method to remote login. By providing encryption and strong authentication, it
protects devices against attacks such as IP spoofing and plaintext password interception. For more
information, see Security Configuration Guide.
The device can act as an SSH server to allow Telnet login, or as an SSH client to log in to an SSH
server.
By default, SSH login is disabled on the device. To configure SSH login, you must first log in to the
device through any other method.

Configuring the device as an SSH server

This section provides the SSH server configuration procedure used when the SSH client
authentication method is password. For more information about SSH and publickey authentication
