Table 4-5 lists commands used to configure the DNS client.
Using Secure Shell 2 (SSH2)
The ExtremeWare Secure Shell 2 (SSH2) switch application allows you to encrypt Telnet
session data between a network administrator using SSH2 client software and the
switch, or to send encrypted data from the switch to an SSH2 client on a remote system.
Image and configuration files may also be transferred to the switch using the Secure
Copy Protocol 2 (SCP2). A command enables the switch to function as an SSH2 client,
sending commands to a remote system via an SSH2 session. There are also commands
to copy image and configuration files to the switch using the SCP2.
The ExtremeWare SSH2 switch application is based on the Data Fellows™ SSH2 server
implementation. It is highly recommended that you use the F-Secure SSH client
products from Data Fellows corporation. These applications are available for most
operating systems. For more information, refer to the Data Fellows website at:
http://www.datafellows.com
SSH2 is compatible with the Data Fellows SSH2 client version 2.0.12 or above.
SSH2 is not compatible with SSH1.
