6.10.3 Set up SDT Connector to SSH port forward over the
console server
Serial Port
In the
SDT Connector
software running on your remote computer, specify the gateway IP address of
your
console server
and a username/password for a user you set up on the
console server
that has
access to the desired port.
Next, add a New SDT Host. In the Host address, put portxx, where xx = the port you are connecting to.
Example: for port 3 you would have a Host Address of: port03. Then select the RDP Service check box.
6.11
SSH Tunneling using other SSH clients (e.g. PuTTY)
As covered in the previous sections of this chapter, we recommend that you use the
SDT Connector
client software that is supplied with the
console server
. There’s also a wide selection of commercial and
free SSH client programs that can provide the secure SSH connections to the
console server
s and secure
tunnels to connected devices:
-
PuTTY is a complete (though not very user friendly) freeware implementation of SSH for Win32 and
UNIX platforms.
-
SSHTerm is a useful open source SSH communications package.
-
SSH Tectia is leading end-‐to-‐end commercial communications security solution for the enterprise.
-
Reflection for Secure IT (formerly F-‐Secure SSH) is another good commercial SSH-‐based security
solution.
For example, the steps below show how to establish an SSH tunneled connection to a network
connected device using the PuTTY client software.
