REMOTE SSH SESSION
SSH can be used to connect to and command the switch. Before
connecting and starting an SSH session, first connect the switch in
accordance with the section entitled “Remote Ethernet Connections” on
page 12. Once the network settings and users have been configured,
the unit is ready for SSH users to connect using an SSH client.
SSH in Windows using PuTTY
To start an SSH session in Windows, an SSH client is required, such as
PuTTY. After downloading PuTTY from the internet, run the executable
(no installation is required). The PuTTY GUI will prompt the user for
connection information. Enter the Host Name or IP address, as well as
the port number. Save the settings below if desired, and then press the
“Open” button. Upon connecting, a prompt will display for the username
and password.

SSH in Linux/Mac OS X
SSH is commonly built into distributions of Linux and Mac OS X, or is
readily available through a package manager or appropriate binary
distribution. Often SSH sessions are accomplished through the terminal.
For example, in Ubuntu and Mac OS X, SSH sessions can be started
with the command:
ssh <username>@<ip address or host name>
For ports other than the standard port 22, adding the option “-p <port>”
before the username will work.
