Specifying a source ip address/interface for the SSH client

Configuring whether first-time authentication is supported

Establishing a connection between the SSH client and server
Specifying a source ip address/interface for the SSH client
Specify a source IP address or interface for the client to access the SSH server, improving service
manageability.
To specify a source IP address or interface for the SSH client:
To do...
1. Enter system view.
2. Specify a
source IP
address or
interface
for the
SSH client.
Configuring whether first-time authentication is supported
When the switch connects to the SSH server as an SSH client, you can configure whether the switch
supports first-time authentication.
With first-time authentication, when an SSH client not configured with the server host public key
•
accesses the server for the first time, the user can continue accessing the server and save the host
public key on the client. When accessing the server again, the client uses the saved server host
public key to authenticate the server.
Without first-time authentication, a client not configured with the server host public key refuses to
•
access the server. To enable the client to access the server, you must configure the server host
public key and specify the public key name for authentication on the client in advance.
Enable the switch to support first-time authentication
To do...
1. Enter system view.
Use the command...
system-view
Specify a
source IPv4
ssh client source { ip ip-address | interface
address or
interface-type interface-number }
interface for
the SSH client
Specify a
source IPv6
ssh client ipv6 source { ipv6 ipv6-address |
address or
