Secure Copy Performance Improvements

Note
Similar to SCP, SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) can be used to copy switch configuration or image files.
For more information, refer the Configuring SSH File Transfer Protocol chapter of the Security Configuration
Guide.
Secure Copy Performance Improvements
SSH bulk data transfer mode can be used to enhance the throughput performance of SCP that is operating in
the capacity of a client or a server. This mode is disabled by default, but can be enabled by using the ip ssh
bulk-mode global configuration command.
