An SSH server forms a secure connection with each SSH client. The following describe steps for
configuring an SSH client and an SSH server to form an SSH connection in between. If multiple SSH
servers need to form connections with multiple SSH clients, configure each client and each server
accordingly.
Configuring the SSH Server
The session establishment between an SSH client and the SSH server involves five stages. Similarly,
SSH server configuration involves five aspects, as shown in the following table.
