1.1.3 SSH Client Configuration
A variety of SSH client software are available, such as PuTTY and FreeBSD. For an
SSH client to establish a connection with an SSH server, you must complete these
configuration tasks:
z
Specifying the IP address of the server
z
Selecting the protocol for remote connection Usually, a client can use a variety of
remote connection protocols, such as Telnet, Rlogin, SSH. To establish an SSH
connection, you must select SSH.

Selecting the SSH version Since the device supports SSH Server 2.0 now, select
2.0 or lower for the client.
z
Specifying the RSA private key file. The RSA keys for an SSH user include a
public key and a private key, which are generated by the tool accompanied with
the client software. The public key must be configured on the server, while the
private key must be configured on the client.
The following takes the client software of PuTTY, PuTTYGen and SSHKEY as
examples to illustrate how to configure the SSH client:
I. Generating the Client Key
