Establishing an SSHv2 Client Connection

To start an SSHv2 client connection to an SSHv2 server using password authentication, enter the ssh command followed by the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the host, as shown in the following example.

device# ssh 10.10.10.2

The example establishes a connection with the SSH host at IPv4 address 10.10.10.2.

To start an SSHv2 client connection to an SSHv2 server using public key authentication, enter the ssh command, the IP address of the host, the keyword public-key and the type of public key to be used, as shown in the following example.

device# ssh 10.10.10.2 public-key rsa

The example establishes an SSH connection with the host at IPv4 address 10.10.10.2 using RSA public key authentication.
