SSH (Secure Shell) is a protocol which ensures a secure remote access connection

to network devices. It is based on the reliable TCP/IP protocol. By conducting the

mechanism such as key distribution, authentication and encryption between SSH server

and SSH client, a secure connection is established. The information transferred on this

connection is protected from being intercepted and decrypted. The switch meets the

requirements of SSH2.0. It supports SSH2.0 client software such as SSH Secure Client

and putty. Users can run the above software to manage the switch remotely.

The switch presently supports RSA authentication, 3DES cryptography protocol and

SSH user password authentication etc.
