Option Description
access Choose one of the following for access by Telnet or Secure SHell (SSH):
• Disable: Disables all access to the control console.
• Enable Telnet (the default): Telnet transmits user names, passwords, and data without
encryption.
• Enable SSH v1 and v2: Do not enable both versions 1 and 2 of SSH unless you require both.
They use extensive processing power.)
• Enable SSH v1 only: SSH version 1 encrypts user names, passwords, and data for
transmission. There is little or no delay as you log on.
• Enable SSH v2 only: SSH version 2 transmits user names, passwords, and data in encrypted
form with more protection than version 1 from attempts to intercept, forge, or alter data during
transmission. There is a noticeable delay as you log on.
Configure the ports to be used by these protocols:
• Telnet Port: The Telnet port used to communicate with the InRow RD (23 by default). You
can change the port setting to any unused port from 5000 to 32768 for additional security.
Users must then use a colon (:) or a space, as required by your Telnet client program, to
specify the non-default port. For example, for port 5000 and an IP address of 152.214.12.114,
your Telnet client requires one of the these commands:
telnet 152.214.12.114:5000
telnet 152.214.12.114 5000
• SSH Port: The SSH port used to communicate with the InRow RD (22 by default). You can
change the port setting to any unused port from 5000 to 32768 for additional security. See the
documentation for your SSH client for the command line format required to specify a
non-default port.
ssh
encryption
Enable or disable encryption algorithms (block ciphers) compatible with SSH version 1 or
version 2 clients:
If your SSH v1 client cannot use Blowfish, you must also enable DES.
Your SSH v2 client selects the enabled algorithm that provides the highest security. If the client
cannot use the default algorithms (3DES or Blowfish), enable an AES algorithm that it can use
(AES 128 or AES 256).
