SSH Settings

Secure Shell (SSH) is a cryptographic network protocol for secure data communication network services. SSH is a way of accessing the command line interface on the network Switch. The traffic is encrypted, so it is difficult to eavesdrop on as it creates a secure connection within an insecure network such as the internet. Even if an attacker was able to view the traffic, the data would be incomprehensible without the correct encryption key to decode it.

Inactivity Timeout

Enter the amount of time that elapses before the SSH Service is timed out. The default is 30 minutes. The range is from 0-10000 minutes.

SSH Service

Select whether SSH is Enabled or Disabled. This is enabled by default.

Click Apply to save the changes to the system.
