Hi All,

I am aware that PGP protocol is used to authenticate source for file and email. Can it be used also to encrypt telnet session?

Any CCO available?

Matteo,

PGP is for encrypting files and electronic mail - it's not for encrypting network streams.

If you want to encrypt telnet sessions - well - just use use ssh instead of telnet where possible.

Cheers,

Just search cisco's site for ssh and your product number. Any cisco device made in the last couple years should support ssh, but older ones might not. Also, setting up ssh is different for IOS devices vs PIX vs VPN concentrators.
