Managing SSH Communications

With Telnet, communications between the server and your PC are sent over
the wire in clear text. If you want to encrypt these communications, you can
use SSH instead.
The SSH server on the ProCurve Secure Router is enabled by default. After
you configure a username and password in the local user list, you can enter
that username and password to access the router through SSH.
The ProCurve Secure Router supports up to five SSH lines, which are num-
bered 0 to 4. If you configure a username and password in the local user list,
a maximum of five people can establish an SSH session with the ProCurve
Secure Router at one time.
You can configure timeout settings for SSH lines just as you configure timeout
settings for Telnet lines. First, move to the SSH line configuration mode
context by entering the following command from the global configuration
mode context:
Syntax: line ssh <0–4>
To access all the SSH lines at once, enter:
ProCurve(config)# line ssh 0 4
By default, ProCurve Secure Router maintains your SSH session until it has
been inactive for 15 minutes. To configure the number of minutes an SSH
session can remain inactive before the Secure Router OS terminates the
session, enter the following command from the SSH line configuration mode
context:
Syntax: line-timeout <minutes>
Replace minutes with a number between 0 and 35791.
To return this setting to the default value, use the no command:
Syntax: no line-timeout <minutes>
Entering 0 will disable the timeout.
