HP Logging in through SSH

By default, you can log in to the device through the console port without authentication and have user privilege level 3 after login. For information about logging in to the device with the default configuration, see “Configuration requirements.”

Figure 16 Log in to another device from the current device

NOTE:

If the Telnet client port and the Telnet server port that connect them are not in the same subnet, make sure that the two devices can reach each other.

Configuration procedure

Follow the step below to configure the device to log in to a Telnet server as a Telnet client:

To do…	Use the command…	Remarks
	telnet remote-host [ service-port ] [
	[ source { interface interface-type	Required
Configure the device to log in to a	interface-number ip
	ip-address } ] ]	Use either command
Telnet server as a Telnet client
	telnet ipv6 remote-host[ -i	Available in user view
	interface-type interface-number ]
	[ port-number ]
		Optional

Specify the source IPv4 address or source interface for sending Telnet packets

telnet client source { interface interface-typeinterface-number ip ip-address}

By, no source IPv4 address or source interface is specified. The source IPv4 address is selected by routing.

Logging in through SSH

Introduction

Secure Shell (SSH) offers an approach to log into a remote device securely. By providing encryption and strong authentication, it protects devices against attacks such as IP spoofing and plain text password interception. The device supports SSH, and you can log in to the device through SSH to remotely manage and maintain the device, as shown in Figure 17.

The following table shows the configuration requirements of SSH login.
