SSH is used to log in to another system over a network and execute commands on that system. It also enables
you to move files from one system to another, and it provides authentication and secure communications
over insecure channels.

For Windows systems, install SSH from the Manage Communications page, select Quick Repair+Install
Providers and Ag ents→Install SSH. To configure SSH from the Manage Communications page, select

System Type Manager rules
Manufacturers assign unique system object identifiers to their SNMP instrumented products. System Type
Manager enables you to customize identification by creating rules that map these system object identifiers
to product categories and names of your choice. If you have installed a new system with SNMP installed
and there is no existing rule to identify the system type, you must create a new rule.
To create a new SNMP rule,
1. Select Options→Manage System Types. The Manage System Types page appears.
2. Click New. The New rule section appears.
