Secure Shell (SSH, SSH2): SSH is an encrypted Command Line Interface that
allow user to send text commands through SSL encryption. Therefore, it provides
the added advantage of security comparing to Telnet. As with Telnet, the SSH and
SSH2 provide the possibility to write a text script and paste into the CLI interface for
multiple command execution. It also makes configuration change across many
AirMax2s easier. The default management port for SSH/SSH2 is TCP/UDP port
22.
To manage via the SSH/SSH2 protocol, you would need a SSH client. Free SSH
clients are widely available on the Internet. You can find where to download them
by using Internet search engine such as Google. In this guide, we will use a
popular SSH/Telnet utility called “Putty”.
