Step 2 Generate the SSH client.

NOTE

If password authentication mode is configured for SSH users, you must configure the same local user

name.

# Configure the VTY user interface.

[Nortel] user-interface vty 0 4

[Nortel-ui-vty0-4] authentication-mode aaa

[Nortel-ui-vty0-4] protocol inbound ssh

[Nortel-ui-vty0-4] quit

# Generate an SSH user with the name client001, and configure the password authentication

mode.

<Nortel> system-view

[Nortel] ssh user client001 authentication-type password

# Set the password of the SSH user client001 to nortel.

[Nortel] aaa

[Nortel-aaa]local-user client001 password simple nortel

[Nortel-aaa]local-user client001 service-type ssh

NOTE

You can use the default authentication timeout period, retry time, and updating time of the server key.

After the configuration, you can run the client software that supports SSH1.5 on the terminals connected

with the router and access the router with the user name client001 and the password nortel.
