SSH With iDRAC6

Secure Shell (SSH) is a command line connection with the same capabilities

as a telnet session, but with session negotiation and encryption to improve

security. iDRAC6 supports SSH version 2 with password authentication.

SSH is enabled by default on iDRAC6.

You can use PuTTY (Windows) or OpenSSH (Linux) on a management

station to connect to the managed server’s iDRAC6. When an error occurs

during the login procedure, the ssh client issues an error message.

The message text is dependent on the client and is not controlled

by iDRAC6.

NOTE: OpenSSH should be run from a VT100 or ANSI terminal emulator on

Windows. Running

OpenSSH at the Windows command prompt does not result in

full functionality (that is, some keys do not respond and no graphics are displayed).

Only one telnet or SSH session is supported at any given time. The session

timeout is controlled by the cfgSsnMgtSshIdleTimeout property as

described in "iDRAC6 Enterprise Property Database Group and Object

Definitions."

iDRAC6 SSH implementation supports multiple cryptography schemes,

as shown in Table 3-1.

NOTE: SSHv1 is not supported.
