Enabling Ssh - Motorola BSR 2000 Configuration And Management Manual

Release 1.0

Enabling SSH

Follow these steps to enable SSH on the BSR:
1. Host keys are required for the SSH Server and can either be generated in the BSR
Note: The SSH Server must be disabled on the BSR 2000 before running the
ssh-keygen2 tool.
Caution: The BSR 2000 Secure Shell Server only accepts host key files
generated with the ssh-keygen2 tool. Keys files generated using the
OpenSSH ssh-keygen tool will not work with the BSR 2000 Secure Shell
Server.
The ssh-keygen2 tool resolves inter operability problems associated with
OpenSSH. A key file must be generated using the ssh-keygen2 tool for the
BSR 2000 Secure Shell Server to inter operate properly with OpenSSH
Secure Shell clients.
2. Use the configure command in Privileged EXEC mode to enter Global

2000 or generated on another BSR 2000 and copied into the BSR 2000. Use the
ssh-keygen2 tool in Privileged EXEC mode to generate authentication key files
for the BSR 2000 Secure Shell Server:
MOT# ssh-keygen2 [bits <512-1024> | hostkeyfile {nvram: <filename>} | type
{dsa | rsa}]
where:
512-1024 specifies the key strength in bits.
nvram: <filename> creates private hostkey file name stored in NVRAM.
type dsa Digital Signature Algorithm key type.
type rsa Rivest-Shamir-Adleman public-key algorithm key type
