Secure Shell and Secure Copy
Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Copy (SCP) use secure tunnels to encrypt and secure messages between a remote
administrator and the GbE2 Interconnect Switch. Telnet does not provide this level of security. The Telnet method
of managing a GbE2 Interconnect Switch does not provide a secure connection.
SSH is a protocol that enables remote administrators to log securely into the GbE2 Interconnect Switch over a
network to execute management commands. By default, SSH is disabled (off) on the GbE2 Interconnect Switch.
SCP is typically used to copy files securely from one machine to another. SCP uses SSH for encryption of data on
the network. On a GbE2 Interconnect Switch, SCP is used to download and upload the switch configuration via
secure channels. By default, SCP is disabled on the GbE2 Interconnect Switch.
The GbE2 Interconnect Switch implementation of SSH is based on version 1.5 and version 2.0, and supports
SSH clients from version 1.0 through version 2.0. Client software can use SSH version 1 or version 2. The
following SSH clients are supported:
• SSH 3.0.1 for Linux (freeware)
• SecureCRT® 4.1.8 (VanDyke Technologies, Inc.)
• OpenSSH_3.9 for Linux (FC 3)
• FedoraCore 3 for SCP commands
• PuTTY Release 0.58 (Simon Tatham) for Windows
