Router Access

SSH Keys are the recommended secure alternative to password authentication.

It is strongly recommended that you setup a SSH key-pair and disable password access before you enable remote SSH access.

You may use an existing SSH key-pair or create a new key-pair.

• Linux and Mac SSH clients usually keep SSH keys in ~/.ssh/ and a new key-pair can be generated with ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f gargoyle
• Windows has been known to keep private keys in C:\Documents and Settings\mylogin\Application Data\SSH\UserKeys\

The private-key should be stored securely and backed-up. Only the public-key (gargoyle.pub) should be uploaded to Gargoyle (in OpenSSH format). Gargoyle will accept multiple public-keys.
