Configuring SSH login

SSH offers a secure method to remote login. By providing encryption and strong authentication, it protects devices against attacks such as IP spoofing and plaintext password interception. For more information, see Security Configuration Guide.

The device can act as an SSH server to allow Telnet login, or as an SSH client to log in to an SSH server.

By default, SSH login is disabled on the device. To configure SSH login, you must first log in to the device through any other method.
