Description
This feature supports remote management capabilities for Arc-connected network switches. Users will be able to securely connect to network devices using either the Azure CLI or directly within the Azure Portal. The portal acts as a proxy for SSH sessions, channeling the connection through the Arc Connector to the target device, thereby enabling remote administration over an encrypted Azure Arc link.
Key capabilities for this feature:
- Initiate remote management sessions to network switches via Azure Portal or Azure CLI
- Azure Portal will proxy SSH connections using the Arc Connector
- All management traffic is protected by Azure Arc encryption
- Enables secure, centralized control of network devices for operational efficiency
