Telnet/SSH
The

configuration page used to enable or disable Telnet and SSH support and configure
the port number that the Telnet or SSH server watches.
Enabling or disabling Telnet or SSH support:
Select
Enabled
or
Disabled
from the appropriate Server drop-down menu and click
Apply.
Changing the Telnet or SSH server port number:
In the appropriate Port field, enter the port number and click

Enabling or disabling SSH server authentication methods:
The SSH server supports two authentication methods for security and validation: Password and Keyboard-Interactive.
Password
is a method where the SSH client gathers username/password credentials and makes the authentication request to
the SSH sever with the credentials. The Password method is controlled by the SSH client.
Keyboard-Interactive
is an authentication method where the SSH server controls an information field followed by one or
more prompts requesting credential information from the SSH client. The client gathers credential information keyed-in by
the user and sends it back to the server. The Keyboard-Interactive method is controlled by the SSH server.
Individual enabling and disabling of the Password and Keyboard-Interactive authentication methods are supported to allow
an SSH client to be forced to use a specific method. Although both methods are available, by enabling the Keyboard-
Interactive method and disabling the Password method, the SSH client is forced to used Keyboard-Interactive, which is
required to display the login banner.
NOTE:
At least one authentication method must be enabled.
Select the
Password
checkbox and/or the
Keyboard
-
Interactive
checkbox and click
Apply.
