Telnet - SSH

Telnet is a protocol that allows remote access and management of devices through unencrypted communication over TCP port 23, while SSH provides encrypted remote access and management over TCP port 22, securing data from eavesdropping. Both require a client on the accessing device and server on the remote device. While Telnet is not recommended for production systems due to lack of encryption, SSH provides the same functionality as Telnet but with an encrypted communication link for more secure remote access and administration.

Telnet

• Telnet is a network protocol that allows a user to


communicate with a remote device. It is a virtual terminal
protocol used mostly by network administrators to remotely
access and manage devices. Administrator can access the
device by telnetting to the IP address or hostname of a
remote device.
• To use telnet, you must have a software (Telnet client)
installed on a remote device, a Telnet server must be
installed and running. Telnet uses the TCP port 23 by
default.
Telnet
• Telnet – Telecomunication Network
– Login to devices remotely
– Console Access
– Unencrypted communication
– Not the best choice for production system
SSH – Secure Shell

• SSH is a network protocol used to remotely access and


manage a device. The key difference between Telnet and
SSH is that SSH uses encryption, which means that all data
transmitted over a network is secure from
eavesdropping. SSH uses the public key encryption for such
purposes.
• Like Telnet, a user accessing a remote device must have an
SSH client installed. On a remote device, an SSH server
must be installed and running. SSH uses the TCP port 22 by
default.
SSH

• Encrypted communication link


• Looks and acts the same as Telnet
