Perform an SFTP file transfer to the device using Public Key with Pass-
phrase authentication
sftp -i ./id_rsa spadmin@10.10.200.5

You will be presented with the SFTP prompt allowing interactive file transfer and dir-
ectory navigation.
Recommended SSH Client Tools
Spectracom does not make any recommendations for specific SSH clients, SCP clients,
or SFTP client tools. However, there are many SSH based tools available to the user at
low cost or free.
Two good, free examples of SSH tool suites are the command line based tool OpenSSH
running on a Linux or OpenBSD x86 platform and the SSH tool suite PuTTY.
The OpenSSH tool suite in source code form is freely available at www.openssh.org
though you must also provide an OpenSSL library, which can be found at
www.openssl.org
.
PuTTY can be found at:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
.
SSH Timeout
The keep-SSH alive timeout is hard-set to 7200 seconds. This value is not configurable.
2.9.7 SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a widely used application-layer pro-
tocol for managing and monitoring network elements. It has been defined by the Inter-
net Architecture Board under RFC- 1157 for exchanging management information
between network devices, and is part of the TCP/IP protocol.
SNMP agents must be enabled and configured so that they can communicate with the
network management system (NMS). The agent is also responsible for controlling the
database of control variables defined in the Management Information Base (MIB).
VelaSync’s SNMP functionality supports SNMP versions V1, V2c and V3 (with SNMP
Version 3 being a secure SNMP protocol).
Once SNMP is configured it will persist through reboot, and only needs to be recon-
figured after performing a "clean" update process (thus restoring the factory default
condition).
Note: In order to configure SNMP, you need ADMINISTRATOR rights.
