Recommended SSH Client Tools
Spectracom does not make any recommendations for specific SSH clients, SCP clients, or SFTP
client tools. However, there are many SSH based tools available to the user at low cost or free.
Two good, free examples of SSH tool suites are the command line based tool OpenSSH run-
ning on a Linux or OpenBSD x86 platform and the SSH tool suite PuTTY.
The OpenSSH tool suite in source code form is freely available at www.openssh.org though
you must also provide an OpenSSL library, which can be found at www.openssl.org.
PuTTY can be found at: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/.
SSH Timeout
The keep-SSH alive timeout is hard-set to 7200 seconds. This value is not configurable.
2.13.8 SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a widely used application-layer protocol for
managing and monitoring network elements. It has been defined by the Internet Architecture
Board under RFC-1157 for exchanging management information between network devices,
and is part of the TCP/IP protocol.
SNMP agents must be enabled and configured so that they can communicate with the network
management system (NMS). The agent is also responsible for controlling the database of con-
trol variables defined in the Management Information Base (MIB).
SecureSync’s SNMP functionality supports SNMP versions V1, V2c and V3 (with SNMP
Version3 being a secure SNMP protocol).
Note: In order to configure SNMP, you need ADMINISTRATORrights.
