SSH Access to CC-SG

Use Secure Shell (SSH) clients, such as Putty or OpenSSH Client, to access a command line interface to SSH (v2) server on CC-SG. Only a subset of CC-SG commands is provided via SSH to administer devices and CC-SG itself.

The SSH client user is authenticated by the CC-SG in which existing authentication and authorization policies are applied to the SSH client. The commands available to the SSH client are determined by the permissions for the user groups to which the SSH client user belongs.

Administrators who use SSH to access CC-SG cannot log a CC Super-User SSH user out, but are able to log all other SSH client users out, including System Administrators.

• To access CC-SG via SSH:

1. Launch an SSH client, such as PuTTY.
2. Specify the IP address of the CC-SG.
3. Specify the SSH port number. Default is 22. You can enable or disable SSH and configure the port for SSH access in Security Manager. See Enable SSH Access.
4. Open the connection.
5. Log in with your CC-SG username and password.
6. A shell prompt appears.

• To display all SSH commands:

• At the shell prompt, type ls to display all commands available.
