Using SSH into outside interface

[ctasher]

Is SSH available as freeware?

I believe that the only way to get into the outside interface on a pix us to use SSH.

TIA

Many people use a freeware Windows SSH client called PuTTY.

You can obtain it here:

Most Linux distributions have an ssh client (OpenSSH) included.

It is possible to use telnet on the PIX as well, but not recommended for obvious security reasons.

Remember to setup SSH you need:

a hostname

a domain name

create the rsa keys

save the rsa keys

add the command:

ssh outside

Tanner...OK, I have generated the rsa key. How do I then transfer this key to putty...or is this how it is done?

many thanks

you do not need to transfer any keys. you just needto create them on the pix, ca save all, and add a ssh command for the outside interface and the ip address space from which you will be connecting
