SSH2.0 Overview

Secure Shell (SSH) offers an approach to securely logging into a remote device. By encryption and

strong authentication, it protects devices against attacks such as IP spoofing and plain text password

interception.

The device can not only work as an SSH server to support connections with SSH clients, but also work

as an SSH client to allow users to establish SSH connections with a remote device acting as the SSH

Currently, when acting as an SSH server, the device supports two SSH versions: SSH2.0 and SSH1.

When acting as an SSH client, the device supports SSH2.0 only.

The session establishment and interaction between an SSH client and the SSH server involves the

following five stages:

Table 1-1 Stages in session establishment and interaction between an SSH client and the server

Version negotiation

Key and algorithm negotiation

Authentication

SSH1 and SSH2.0 are supported. The two parties negotiate a

version to use.

SSH supports multiple algorithms. The two parties negotiate an

algorithm for communication.

The SSH server authenticates the client in response to the

client's authentication request.
