Tunneling HTTP Over SSH
To tunnel HTTP over SSH
1. Generate a key.
2. Put authorized public keys on the system.
3. Log in and redirect a port on your platform to the remote platform. Depending on what type
of terminal you are using complete the following.
From a UNIX terminal—Use the -L option to redirect a port to port 80 on the remote
platform. The following example redirects port 8000.
At the shell prompt, type:
ssh -l admin Nokia Platform.corp.com -L 8000:127.0.0.1:80
From a Windows terminal—Use the client to redirect port 8000.
a. When you open a connection, click Properties.
b. Select the Forward tab.
c. Enter a new local port-forwarding entry by clicking on new.
d. The source port should be 8000. The destination host should be 127.0.0.1, and the
destination port should be 80. For security reasons, check the allow local connections
only box.
e. Click OK twice to return to the connection dialog box.
f. Press OK to connect to the remote host.

configuration to a file. This allows you to redirect the same ports every time you create
an HTTP tunnel over SSH
Network Voyager Session Management
IPSO session management lets administrators prevent multiple users from making simultaneous
configuration changes, whether they are using Nokia Network Voyager or the CLI. When you
log in, you can acquire an exclusive configuration lock so that other users cannot make
configuration changes to an appliance while you are logged into it. Sessions are logged out
automatically after a period of inactivity that you can specify, or the user can manually log out at
any time.
