Encryption
Ciphers The Avaya Multiservice switch supports Blowfish and 3DES encryption
ciphers. When the client connects to the host, the client supplies a list of
ciphers that it supports. The server selects the strongest common cipher.
You can also configure the Avaya Multiservice switch to force use of a
single cipher.
User

Each login attempt requires a username and password authentication for
logging onto the switch.You can also use a RADIUS server for remote
password authentication over a network. User authentication occ urs after an
SSH session is successfully established.
The switch supports a maximum of seven client and server SSH sessions
running simultaneously. All connections require password authentication.
