The SSH client for the DASL CLI module is preconfigured to operate as follows:

  • Try SSH version 2, and fall back to version 1 if version 2 is not available.

  • Use password authentication only.

  • Connect to the standard SSH port number, port 22, on the remote host.

  • Add a new host to the user’s database of known hosts without prompting the user for confirmation.

    In addition, the DASL CLI module is preconfigured to create log files. CLI log files are described in the VMware Smart Assurance Network Protocol Manager Discovery Guide Supplement.

    No other configurations are required for the DASL CLI module.
