Introduction to SSH2.0

Secure Shell (SSH) offers an approach to logging in to a remote device securely. By encryption and strong authentication, it protects devices against attacks such as IP spoofing and plain text password interception.

The device can not only work as an SSH server to support connections with SSH clients, but also work as an SSH client to allow users to establish SSH connections with a remote device acting as the SSH server.

	NOTE: When acting as an SSH server, the device supports SSH2.0 and SSH1 in non-FIPS mode, and supports only SSH2.0 in FIPS mode. When acting as an SSH client, the device supports SSH2.0 only. Unless otherwise noted, SSH in this document refers to SSH2.0.
