SSH tunneling for northbound IF
General
This section describes how to set up SSH secured Northbound Interface (NBI) CLI sessions.
On the FOXMAN-UN core system, you need to create a local user account (in this example we will use «nbicli» as the user name). Initially provide this account a login-shell like bash, csh, etc, a valid home-directory, and a valid password.
The purpose of this account is to enable a secure authentication between the systems and enable a secure transmission for FOXMAN-UN NBI CLI telnet sessions.
ssh-keygen -N '' -t dsa -f ~/.ssh/nbicliclient.id_dsa
