Administration > Network Configuration > Remote CLI
SSH (Secure Shell) is a network protocol that allows two network devices to exchange data in a secured connection. SSH replaces Telnet which sends data (including passwords) in clear text. IWSVA allows administrators to access the CLI from a remote location using SSH only.
Use this screen to configure SSH on IWSVA for remote CLI access.
  • SSH: Command line access—Select this option to enable SSH connection for remote CLI access. Clear this check box to disable SSH service.
  • Port Number—Type the service port number for SSH. The default port number is 22.
    Note
    Note
    The default port number of 22 is also used by Central Log/Reporting. For the Central Log/Reporting feature to function correctly you need to set the Remote CLI's port number to 22 on the log server as well.
