Configuring SSH/SCP
SSH/SCP parameters can be configured only via the console port, using the CLI. The switch
SSH daemon uses TCP port 22 only and is not configurable.
To enable or disable the SSH/SCP feature, use the following commands:
>> # /cfg/sys/sshd/on
>> # /cfg/sys/sshd/off
To set the interval of RSA server key autogeneration, use this command:
>> # /cfg/sys/sshd/intrval <number of hours (0-24)>
where the number of hours must range between 0–24, and a value of 0 denotes that RSA server
key autogeneration is disabled. When greater than 0, the switch will auto-generate the RSA
server key every interval specified; however, RSA server key generation will be skipped if the
switch is busy doing other key or cipher generation when the timer expires.
To enable or disable the SCP apply and save (SCP putcfg_apply and
putcfg_apply_save commands), use these commands:
>> # /cfg/sys/sshd/ena
>> # /cfg/sys/sshd/dis
The following commands are useful for obtaining information about the current SSH/SCP-
related configuration:
>> # /cfg/sys/sshd/cur
>> # diff
To apply the pending changes from the new configuration, use this command:
>> # apply
