SSH redirect overview

SSH redirect provides redirect service for Stelnet clients. An Stelnet client can log in to the SSH redirect server, and then access a destination device through the SSH redirect server.

The following methods are available for a user to access the destination device:

• Accessing the destination device by specifying the SSH redirect listening port

• Accessing the destination device by specifying the absolute number of the user line
