SSH
We recommend that you use SSH as the protocol where the
User
or
Administrator
connects
to the
console server
(or connects through the
console server
to the attached serial consoles)
over the Internet or any other public network. This will provide authenticated SSH
communications between the SSH client program on the remote user’s computer and the
console server
, so the user’s communication with the serial device attached to the
console
server
is secure.
For SSH access to the consoles on devices attached to the
console server
serial ports, you can
use
SDT Connector
. Configure
SDT Connector
with the
console server
as a
gateway
, then as a
host
, and enable SSH service on Port (3000 + serial port #)
i.e.
3001-‐3048.
Chapter 6—Secure
Tunneling
has more information on using
SDT Connector
for SSH access to devices that are
attached to the
console server
serial ports.
You can also use common communications packages, like
PuTTY
or
SSHTerm
to SSH connect
directly to port address IP Address _ Port (3000 + serial port #)
i.e.
3001–3048.
SSH connections can be configured using the standard SSH port 22. Identify the the serial
port that’s accessed by appending a descriptor to the username. This syntax supports:
<username>:<portXX>
<username>:<port label>
<username>:<ttySX>
<username>:<serial>
