Security Tab - SSH Settings
The Secure Shell (SSH) includes server/client applications that can provide remote
management access to the switch and act as a secure replacement for Telnet.
When the client contacts the switch through the SSH protocol, the switch generates a public-
key that the client uses along with a local user name and password for access authentication.
SSH also encrypts all data transfers passing between the switch and SSH-enabled management
station clients, and ensures that data traveling over the network arrives unaltered.
Note that you need to install an SSH client on the management station to access the switch for
management through the SSH protocol. The switch supports both SSH Version 1.5 and 2.0.
SSH Server Status—Allows you to enable/disable the SSH server on the switch. (Default:
Disabled)
Version—The Secure Shell version number. Version 2.0 is displayed, but the switch supports
management access via either SSH Version 1.5 or 2.0 clients.
SSH Authentication Timeout—Specifies the time interval in seconds that the SSH server waits
for a response from a client during an authentication attempt. (Range: 1-120 seconds; Default:
120 seconds)
SSH Authentication Retries—Specifies the number of authentication attempts that a client is
allowed before authentication fails and the client has to restart the authentication process.
(Range: 1-5 times; Default: 3)
