Starting a Secure Shell Session
To start a Secure Shell session, issue the ssh command and identify the IP address or hostname for the
device you are connecting to.
You can use the ssh6 command to start an SSHv6 session followed by the relevant IPv6 address or the
hostname, over an IPv6 environment.
Note. You can only use a host name instead of an IP address if the DNS resolver has been configured and
enabled. If not, you must specify an IP address. See Chapter 1, “Managing System Files,” for details.
Note. Use of the cmdtool OpenWindows support facility is not recommended over Secure Shell connec-
tions with an external server.
The following command establishes a Secure Shell interface from the local OmniSwitch to IP address
11.133.30.135:
-> ssh 11.133.30.135
login as:
Note. If Secure Shell is not enabled on a switch, use the ssh enable command to enable it.
You must have a login and password that is recognized by the IP address you specify. When you enter
your login, the device you are logging in to, requests your password as shown here:
-> ssh 11.133.30.135
login as: rrlogin1
rrlogin1's password for keyboard-interactive method:
Once the Secure Shell session is established, you can use the remote device specified by the IP address on
a secure connection from your OmniSwitch.
Note. The login parameters for Secure Shell session login parameters can be affected by the
session login-attempt and session login-timeout CLI commands.
