SSH Access

The AP supports Secure Shell (SSH) version 2, for secure remote CLI (Telnet) sessions. SSH
provides strong authentication and encryption of session data.
The SSH server (AP) has host keys - a pair of asymmetric keys - a private key that resides on
the AP and a public key that is distributed to clients that need to connect to the AP. As the client
has knowledge of the server host keys, the client can verify that it is communicating with the
correct SSH server. The client authentication can be performed in two ways:
Using asymmetric keys. This method requires all the client keys to be installed on the AP.
●
Using a username/password pair to authenticate the user over a secure channel created
●
using SSH.
