The Berkeley-standard includes remote access tools originally designed for
Unix systems. Some of these tools have also been implemented for
Microsoft Windows and other environments. These tools, including
commands such as rlogin (remote login), rsh (remote shell), and rcp
(remote copy), are not secure from hostile attacks.
Secure Shell (SSH) includes server/client applications intended as a secure
replacement for the older Berkeley remote access tools. SSH can also
provide remote management access to this switch as a secure replacement
for Telnet. When the client contacts the switch via the SSH protocol, the
switch generates a public-key that the client uses along with a local user
name and password for access authentication. SSH also encrypts all data
transfers passing between the switch and SSH-enabled management
station clients, and ensures that data traveling over the network arrives
unaltered.
