USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
You cannot display the system defaults using the Web management interface.
NOTE: You can display and configure the sizes of various tables such as the MAC, ARP, and IP tables by
selecting the Parameters link from the System configuration sheet. See “Displaying and Modifying System
Parameter Default Settings” on page 10-70.
Access and Management Features
The following sections describe the access and management features listed in Table 8.1 on page 8-2.
Secure Shell (SSH)
Secure Shell (SSH) is a mechanism for allowing secure remote access to a Foundry device. SSH provides a
function similar to Telnet. Users can log into and configure the device using a publicly or commercially available
SSH client program, just as they can with Telnet. However, unlike Telnet, which provides no security, SSH
provides a secure, encrypted connection to the device.
SSH supports Arcfour, IDEA, Blowfish, DES (56-bit) and Triple DES (168-bit) data encryption methods. Nine
levels of data compression are available. You can configure your SSH client to use any one of these data
compression levels when connecting to a Foundry device.
NOTE: SSH is supported on the following Foundry devices:
• NetIron Internet backbone routers
• BigIron Chassis devices with Management II or higher modules
• FastIron II and FastIron II Plus (switch and basic Layer 3 code only)
• NetIron Layer 3 Switch (stackable, octal version)
• FastIron Workgroup Layer 2 Switch (8MB models only, switch code only)
NOTE: Foundry’s implementation of SSH supports SSH version 1 only. All references to SSH in this document
are to SSH version 1.
For configuration and user information, see “Configuring Secure Shell” on page 4-1.
