These applications are useful if you want to access CLI of networks devices, such as Ruckus devices.
Here is where you can download:
Putty:https://www.putty.org/
Mobaxterm: https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/download-home-edition.html
1-For SSH or Telnet session must know the IP address of the network devices
What depends on whether we use ssh or telnet?
This is determined by the current configuration of the device
SSH: Since ssh is a secure connection is going to ask us for a username and password
Defaults passwords and usernames :
2-The Serial option is used for physical access with a console cable directly connected to the network device.
Putty example:
Mobaxterm example:
Note: Mobaxterm is a putty-like tool with a slightly different interface.
For MacOS system like like MacBook we can access from the terminal of the device without having to install a tool.
For Telnet access:
nc ‘IP of the device’ 23
For ssh Access:
ssh ‘username’@’IP of the device’
Note: if access to ssh does not work tried the following ssh-keygen -R 'ip address of the device' this generates a public key pair for use when authenticating with a remote server.
