The Terminal Adapter

The terminal adapter gives users of TEO access to any component which runs SSH v2. The TEO server acts similar to a SSH Client in establishing a telnet or SSH connection with the end device. The device can be a Unix/Linux server, a Cisco IOS® device, or any other device that runs SSH v2. Communication is sent via secure channel and is encrypted by the SSH protocol transport layer. The specific cipher algorithm for encryption will be determined by what the end device uses (on it's end).

Configuring a Terminal Target

Complete these steps:

Go to Definitions > Targets in the TEO Master Console.
Right click New > Terminal target and follow the wizard to input the criteria. You can also select Unix/Linux target instead if you are only using a Unix/Linux target. However, the Terminal target works as well.
