Server User Manual

.. replacing yourusername with the username
config.system.snmp.username2 (3 only)
To set the Engine ID field (SNMP version 3 only)
config --set config.system.snmp.password2=yourpassword
.. replacing yourpassword with the password
Once the fields are set, apply the configuration with the following command:
config --run snmp
You can add a third or more SNMP servers by incrementing the "2" in the above commands, e.g.
config.system.snmp.protocol3, config.system.snmp.address3, etc.
15.6 Secure Shell (SSH) Public Key Authentication
This section covers how to generate public and private keys in a Linux and Windows environment and
configure SSH for public key authentication. The steps to use in a Clustering environment are:
- Generate a new public and private key pair.
- Upload the keys to the Master and to each Slave console server.
- Fingerprint each connection to validate.
15.6.1 SSH Overview
Popular TCP/IP applications such as telnet, rlogin, ftp, and others transmit their passwords unencrypted.
Doing this across pubic networks like the Internet can have catastrophic consequences. It leaves the
door open for eavesdropping, connection hijacking, and other network-level attacks.
Secure Shell (SSH) is a program to log into another computer over a network, to execute commands in a
remote machine, and to move files from one machine to another. It provides strong authentication and
secure communications over insecure channels.
OpenSSH, the de facto open source SSH application, encrypts all traffic (including passwords) to
effectively eliminate these risks. Additionally, OpenSSH provides a myriad of secure tunneling
capabilities, as well as a variety of authentication methods.
OpenSSH is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH[0] to Linux and other versions of Unix. OpenSSH is
based on the last free version of Tatu Ylonen's sample implementation with all patent-encumbered
algorithms removed (to external libraries), all known security bugs fixed, new features reintroduced, and
many other clean-ups. http://www.openssh.com/ The only changes in the Black Box SSH
implementation are:
- PAM support
- EGD[1]/PRNGD[2] support and replacements for OpenBSD library functions that are absent from
other versions of UNIX
- The config files are now in /etc/config. e.g.
/etc/config/sshd_config instead of /etc/sshd_config
/etc/config/ssh_config instead of /etc/ssh_config
/etc/config/users/<username>/.ssh/ instead of /home/<username>/.ssh/
