Configure SSH
To configure Secure Shell settings:
1. Click Configure SSH from the Secure Shell (SSH) Configuration List page. This displays the Configure
Secure Shell (SSH) page.
2. For Status, select Enable or Disable to enable or disable the SSH feature. Before enabling SSH, a
private/public key pair should be loaded on the router using either the
option.
3. For Encryption, select one or more of the encryption methods. The selected method(s) is configured
locally on the router (or server). When a client initiates a session, the encryption type is realized and the
client adheres to the server encryption mode. If the encryption method is not supported on the client side,
the connection will fail.
4. For MAC, select the type of Message Authentication Code to use for the SSH connection.
5. For Port, select one of the following to specify the port that the SSH server listens on.
•
Default: Sets the SSH port to the default port of 22.
•
Disable: Disables the SSH port.
•
Port Number: Enter the desired number in the field next to Port #.
6. In Idle Timeout, enter the number of seconds an SSH connection can remain idle before the SSH session
is disconnected. This can be a number between 30 and 1200 with 600 being the default.
7. In D-H ReKey Interval, enter the number of minutes that must pass between additional key exchanges.
This can be a number between 0 and 600 with 600 being the default.
