SSH version 2 overview
Secure Shell (SSH) is a mechanism for allowing secure remote access to management functions on a
Brocade device. SSH provides a function similar to Telnet. Users can log into and configure the device
using a publicly or commercially available SSH client program, just as they can with Telnet. However,
unlike Telnet, which provides no security, SSH provides a secure, encrypted connection to the device.
The Brocade SSH2 implementation is compatible with all versions of the SSH2 protocol (2.1, 2.2, and
so on). At the beginning of an SSH session, the Brocade device negotiates the version of SSH2 to be
