Hi Group,
I've enabled ssh server on R1, and I can connect to R1 using ssh -l
<username> ip from other routers on the network.
SSH client functionality is available only when the SSH server is enabled
If Why would I need ssh client on routers ? any ideas
The doc cd says:-
SSH Integrated Client
===============
The SSH Integrated Client feature is an application running over the SSH
protocol to provide device authentication and encryption. The SSH client
enables a Cisco router to make a secure, encrypted connection to another
Cisco router or to any other device running the SSH server. This connection
provides functionality that is similar to that of an outbound Telnet
connection except that the connection is encrypted. With authentication and
encryption, the SSH client allows for a secure communication over an
insecure network.
The SSH client in the Cisco IOS software works with publicly and
commercially available SSH servers. The SSH client supports the ciphers of
Data Encryption Standard (DES), Triple DES (3DES), and password
authentication. User authentication is performed like that in the Telnet
session to the router. The user authentication mechanisms supported for SSH
are RADIUS, TACACS+ and the use of locally stored user names and passwords.
Thanks,
k
