7 Secure Shell (SSH) Port Forwarding

This chapter describes how secure shell (SSH) port forwarding may be used with Oracle Data Guard.

7.1 SSH Port Forwarding

Oracle Application Server Guard automates the use of Oracle Data Guard, which sends redo data across the network to the standby system using Oracle Net. SSH tunneling may be used with Oracle Data Guard as an integrated way to encrypt and compress the redo data before it is transmitted by the production system and subsequently decrypt and uncompress the redo data when it is received by the standby system.
