48 Configuring the Management Station
To configure a Linux telnet session to use the <Backspace> key, perform the
following steps:
1
Open a shell and type:
stty erase ^h
2
At the prompt, type:
telnet
SSH With iDRAC
Secure Shell (SSH) is a command line connection with the same capabilities
as a telnet session, but with session negotiation and encryption to improve
security. The iDRAC supports SSH version 2 with password authentication.
SSH is enabled by default on the iDRAC.
You can use PuTTY (Windows) or OpenSSH (Linux) on a management
station to connect to the managed server’s iDRAC. When an error occurs
during the login procedure, the ssh client issues an error message. The
message text is dependent on the client and is not controlled by the iDRAC.
NOTE: OpenSSH should be run from a VT100 or ANSI terminal emulator on
Windows. Running
OpenSSH at the Windows command prompt does not result in
full functionality (that is, some keys do not respond and no graphics are displayed).
Only one telnet or SSH session is supported at any given time. The session
timeout is controlled by the cfgSsnMgtSshIdleTimeout property as
described in "iDRAC Property Database Group and Object Definitions" on
page 253.
The iDRAC SSH implementation supports multiple cryptography schemes,
as shown in Table 3-1.
NOTE: SSHv1 is not supported.
