Logging In Through Ssh; Configuring Ssh Login On The Device - HP 12500 Configuration Manual

Step
4. Use the device to log in to
a Telnet server.

Logging in through SSH

SSH offers a secure approach to remote login. By providing encryption and strong authentication, it
protects devices against attacks such as IP spoofing and plain text password interception. For more
information, see Security Configuration Guide.
You can use an SSH client to log in to the device for remote management, or use the device as an SSH
client to log in to an SSH server.
By default, SSH login is disabled on the device. To log in to the device through SSH, you must log in to
the device through any other method and configure SSH login on the device first.

Configuring SSH login on the device

This section provides the configuration procedure for when the SSH client authentication method is
password. For more information about SSH and publickey authentication configuration, see Security
Configuration Guide.
To configure SSH login on the device:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Create
pairs.
3. Enable SSH server.
4. Create an SSH user
