Abstract

Routers in a computer network are responsible for managing much of the data flow. Therefore, it is important to properly configure routers, as this will help to resist attacks and maintain the security and confidentiality of network traffic. Using Telnet for accessing a router remotely is not secure enough. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that using Secure  Socket Shell protocol (SSH) to remote login a router is more secure. Cisco packet tracer simulation has been used for configure the router. The simulation showed that The SSH is provides a strong authentication and encryption, preserves the confidentiality and privacy of communications.
