ExtremeCloud IQ provides a way to access devices remotely using the SSH protocol.
Because best practices suggest that SSH access to internal devices be blocked from
external access, ExtremeCloud IQ uses an SSH proxy server to mediate the end-to-end
connection between an external device that will manage files on your client
device.
Note
Enabling SSH
availability potentially gives others direct access to your devices during the
time that SSH access is available. While active, SSH Availability exposes your
device to the public Internet through an SSH proxy, protected only by the device
administrator credentials, as SSH FTP assumes that it is run over a secure
channel.
Use these steps to enable SSH.
-
From , select VIQ Management.
-
Toggle
ON
SSH
Availability.
Navigate to , select the length of time during which you want to make SSH available,
and then select Enable
SSH. ExtremeCloud IQ then creates an SSH session for the specified
length of time between the SSH proxy server and the external device.
