SSH

SSH is an abbreviation of Secure Shell, which is a program allowing secure remote login and secure network services
over an insecure network. It allows a secure login to remote host computers, a safe method of executing commands on
a remote end node, and will provide secure encrypted and authenticated communication between two non-trusted
hosts. SSH, with its array of unmatched security features is an essential tool in today's networking environment. It is a
powerful guardian against numerous existing security hazards that now threaten network communications.
The steps required to use the SSH protocol for secure communication between a remote PC (the SSH client) and the
Switch (the SSH server) are as follows:
1 Create a user account with admin-level access using the User Accounts window. This is identical to creating
any other admin-level User Account on the Switch, including specifying a password. This password is used to
logon to the Switch, once a secure communication path has been established using the SSH protocol.
2 Configure the User Account to use a specified authorization method to identify users that are allowed to
establish SSH connections with the Switch using the SSH User Authentication Mode window. There are
three choices as to the method SSH will use to authorize the user, which are Host Based, Password, and
Public Key.
