Configuring the Device
as an SSH Client
When the device, as an SSH client, is connected to the SSH server, you can
configure the SSH client whether to perform first authentication to the accessed
SSH server.
■ First authentication: When the SSH client accesses the SSH server for the first
time but is not configured with the host public key of the server, users can
choose to access the server continuously and save the host public key on the
client. When users access the server next time, the saved host public key will be
used to authenticate the server.
■ If first authentication is not supported, the client will refuse to access the server
if not configured with the host public key of the server. Users must configure
the host public key of the server to be accessed on the local device in advance,
