Logging Into the Switch Using Secure Shell
OmniSwitch 6600 Family Switch Management Guide March 2005 page 1-11
Connection Phase
After successful authentication, both the client and the server process the Secure Shell connection
protocol. The OmniSwitch supports one channel for each Secure Shell connection. This channel can be
used for a Secure Shell session or a Secure Shell FTP session.
Starting a Secure Shell Session
To start a Secure Shell session from an OmniSwitch, issue the ssh command and identify the IP address
for the device you are connecting to.
Note. You can only use a host name instead of an IP address if the DNS resolver has been configured and
enabled. If not, you must specify an IP address. See Chapter 2, “Managing System Files,” for details.
Note. Use of the cmdtool OpenWindows support facility is not recommended over Secure Shell connec-
tions with an external server.
The following command establishes a Secure Shell interface from the local OmniSwitch to IP address
11.333.30.135.
-> ssh 11.333.30.135
login as:
You must have a login and password that is recognized by the IP address you specify. When you enter
your login, the device you are logging in to will request your password as shown here.
-> ssh 11.333.10.135
login as: rrlogin1
rrlogin1's password for keyboard-interactive method:
Once the Secure Shell session is established, you can use the remote device specified by the IP address on
a secure connection from your OmniSwitch.
Note. The login parameters for Secure Shell session login parameters can be affected by the session login-
attempt and session login-timeout CLI commands.
