SSH

​

The Secure Shell (SSH) protocol specifies how clients securely connect to SSH servers, and the resulting encrypted link between them. Each SSH session creates a secure channel to send and receive data.

SSH is a Telnet-like program for logging into and executing commands on a remote machine, which includes security with authentication, encryption, and data integrity features. After SSH is connected and authenticated, the command line interface is available.

Moonshot iLO CM firmware supports:

​

  • SSH protocol version 2.

  • PuTTY, a free version of the SSH protocol, available for download on the Internet. When using PuTTY, versions before 0.54 might display 2 line feeds instead of a single line feed when the ENTER key is pressed. To avoid this issue, and for best results, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends using version 0.54 or later.

  • OpenSSH, a free version of SSH connectivity tools developed by the OpenBSD project, available for download on the Internet.

  • Native SSH tools built into Unix-like operating systems.
