Logging In Through SSH

Secure Shell (SSH) offers an approach to logging into a remote device securely. With encryption and
strong authentication, it protects devices against attacks such as IP spoofing and plain text password
interception. For the security features provided by SSH, see SSH Configuration in the Security
Volume.

Configuring Command Authorization

By default, command level for a login user depends on the user level. The user is authorized the
command with the default level not higher than the user level. With the command authorization
configured, the command level for a login user is decided by both the user level and AAA authorization.
If a user executes a command of the corresponding user level, the authorization server checks
whether the command is authorized. If yes, the command can be executed.
The authorization server checks the commands authorized for users through the username, and thus
the command authorization configuration involves three steps:
1) Configure to use username and password authentication when users log in.
2) Enable command authorization. See the following table for details.
3) Configure an authorization scheme. Specify the IP address and other related parameters for the
accounting server. For details, refer to the AAA Configuration in the Security Volume.
Follow these steps to enable command authorization:
To do...
Enter system view
