Secure Shell (SSH) is the best and recommended way to communicate with Cyberoam – or even any device – on a network using CLI.
SSH provides a secured communication channel between the client and the SSH Server. The reason for that is because the information being exchanged between the client and the server are encrypted, thus, preventing (Man-in-the-middle) intrusion. SSH is used to execute predefined commands on Cyberoam.
More about SSH can be found at this Wikipedia page here:
You, as an SSH-Client can connect to Cyberoam, the SSH-Server, using many applications, but the most easy and well known application is (PuTTY). Download.
PuTTY is a light weight application that can be used not only for SSH, but also for other connections such as serial Connections using serial cables.
Just download PuTTY, double click on it, and then the below window will appear:
As you can see, SSH operates over port number (22). Do not make any changes on any field, just enter Cyberoam’s IP or any sub-interface IP for Cyberoam in the (Host Name) field, let’s say the IP is (10.10.10.1), type it in and then hit Open, a separate CLI window will appear, enter (admin) as a username, and the admin’s password. Cyberoam will not accept any other credentials, hit Enter as below:
After entering the correct credentials, Cyberoam will direct you to the main menu which is actually the same window that appears when you connect to Cyberoam using Telnet, however, this time, your connection is over a secured channel, as below image:
That’s it. You can start modifying the settings as you wish
