Secure Shell, SCP, and IPv6

Secure Shell (SSH) is a mechanism that allows secure remote access to management functions on the RUCKUS device. SSH provides a function similar to Telnet. You can log in to and configure a RUCKUS device using a publicly or commercially available SSH client program, just as you can with Telnet. However, unlike Telnet, which provides no security, SSH provides a secure, encrypted connection to the RUCKUS device.

To open an SSH session between an IPv6 host running an SSH client program and the RUCKUS device, open the SSH client program and specify the IPv6 address of the device. For more information about configuring SSH on the RUCKUS device, refer to the "SSH2 and SCP" chapter in the RUCKUS FastIron Security Configuration Guide.
