SSH
authentication
SSH connection between an MPLS Manager host and an MPLS-enabled
device shows an SSH connection between a client and a server.
SSH connection
between an
host and an
MPLS-enabled device

The client is the SSH client software that connects users to the SSH
server on the remote host. The server is the SSH server program, or ssh daemon,
that is running on the remote host. In
Figure 33, the client and server enable a user named
MPLSUser on an
MPLS Topology Server
host to log in as ServerUser on an MPLS-enabled device.
SSH authentication begins with the authentication of the server to the
client, and ends with the authentication of the client to the server.
