/cfg/sys/adm/ssh
SSH Administration Menu
The SSH Administration Menu is used to enable or disable Secure Shell (SSH) for remote
access to the Nortel Switched Firewall management CLI. This menu is also used for generating
SSH host keys.
An SSH connection allows secure management of the Nortel Switched Firewall from any
workstation connected to the network. SSH access provides server host authentication,
encryption of management messages, and encryption of passwords for user authentication. By
default, SSH is disabled.
For more information about the SSH feature, see
Using Secure Shell on page 255

host IP address is allowed for trusted clients which have been added to the access list
(see
