Stelnet client configuration task list

Task
Specifying a source IP address or source interface for the Stelnet
client

Enabling/disabling first-time authentication

Establishing a connection to an Stelnet server
Setting the DSCP value for packets sent by the Stelnet client
Specifying a source IP address or source interface for the
Stelnet client
By default, an Stelnet client uses the IP address of the outbound interface specified by the route to the
Stelnet server when communicating with the Stelnet server.
HP recommends that you specify a loopback interface as the source interface to make sure the Stelnet
client and the Stelnet server can communicate with each other, and to improve the manageability of
Stelnet clients in the authentication service.
To specify a source IP address or source interface for the Stelnet client:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Specify a source IP address
or source interface for the
Stelnet client.
Enabling/disabling first-time authentication
When the device works as an SSH client and connects to the SSH server, you can configure whether the
device supports first-time authentication.
If first-time authentication is not supported, a client not configured with the server host public key
•
refuses to access the server. To enable the client to access the server, you must configure the server
host public key locally and specify the public key name for authentication on the client in advance.
If first-time authentication is supported, when a client not configured with the server host public key
•
accesses the server for the first time, the user can continue accessing the server, and save the host
public key on the client. When accessing the server again, the client will use the saved server host
public key to authenticate the server. In a secure network, first-time authentication can simplify client
configuration, but also bring some potential security risks.
Command

interface-number | ip ip-address }
•
Specify a source IPv6 address or source
interface for the Stelnet client:
ssh client ipv6 source { interface
interface-type interface-number | ipv6
