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 servers 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.
