Modifying the Client

You can configure a selection of variables when using the SSH client. Note that the
following configuration commands apply only to client sessions initiated after the
command. The configured settings are not saved; after you have logged out from the SSH
client, the client returns to using the default settings. Use the command:

The SSH client uses TCP port 22, by default. You can change the TCP port for the remote
SSH server by using the port parameter.

The client supports both SSH version 1 and version 2 sessions, by default. To change the
SSH client to only use a specific SSH version for sessions, for example SSH version 1, use
the version parameter.

The client terminates sessions that are not established after 30 seconds, by default. You
can change this time period by using the session-timeout parameter.

Once the client has authenticated with a server, the client does not time out the SSH
session, by default. Use the session-timeout parameter to set a maximum time period the
client waits before deciding that a session is inactive and terminating the session.

To modify the SSH client so that it uses port 2000 for sessions, and supports only SSH
version 1 connections, use the command:

To modify the SSH client so that unestablished sessions time out after 60 seconds, and
inactive sessions time out after 100 seconds, use the command:

To remove the configured port, SSH version, session timeout, and connection timeout
settings, use the command:

awplus(config)#

ssh client {port <1-65535>|version {1|2}|
session-timeout <0-3600>|connect-timeout
<1-600>}

awplus(config#
