SFTP configuration examples

Unless otherwise noted, devices in the configuration examples are in non-FIPS mode.
When you configure SFTP on a device that operates in FIPS mode, follow these restrictions and
guidelines:
• The modulus length of the key pair must be 2048 bits.
When the device acts as an SFTP server, only RSA key pairs are supported. Do not generate a DSA
•
key pair on the SFTP server.
