Hi TP-Link Omada Team,

 

I noticed that the Omada Hardware Controller now shows a new SSH option under the Network Tools section (screenshot attached). Could you please provide a brief explanation of this feature? Specifically:

 

  • What is the intended use of this SSH option?

  • Are there any security considerations we should be aware of?

  • How does it differ from the regular device management options?

 

Thank you for your guidance!

Hi  @Babun-Sikder 

 

Thanks for posting here.

 

SSH (Secure Shell) provides a method for you to securely configure and monitor network devices via a command-line user interface on your SSH terminal.

It's supported for a long time. 

SSH is designed for users who prefer command-line interface (CLI) management of devices. This access method does not introduce additional security risks—it's simply an alternative management approach.
