(SSH) management interface. SSH provides remote management access to
this switch as a secure replacement for Telnet. When the client contacts the
switch via 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.
This guide assumes that RADIUS and TACACS+ servers have already
:
Client – Specifies how the administrator is authenticated when logging
into the switch via Telnet, SSH, or a web browser.
Authentication Method – Selects the authentication method.
(Options: None, Local, RADIUS, TACACS+; Default: Local)
Selecting the option "None" disables access through the specified
management interface.
Fallback – Uses the local user database for authentication if none of
the configured authentication servers are alive. This is only possible if
the Authentication Method is set to something else than "none" or
"local."
