Using the SSH Client

You can use the SSH client to connect to an SSH server that is running on another machine.

To establish an SSH connection to a remote host, use the following CLI command:

(configure)# ssh [cipher {3des-cbc | blowfish-cbc}] [port <tcp-port>] [user <username>] {<ip-addr> | <hostname>}

If you do not specify a cipher, the client can use either cipher. Normally, if the remote host supports 3DES, that is the cipher that is used. If you do not specify a TCP port, the client uses port 22. Valid ports are 22 and 9000 to 65,535.
