Secure Shell Server Configuration - HP 10GB ETHERNET BL-C SWITCH BMD00022 Command Reference Manual

Secure Shell Server configuration

Command: /cfg/sys/sshd
[SSHD Menu]
Telnet traffic on the network is not secure. This menu enables Secure Shell (SSH) access from any SSH
client. The SSH program securely logs into another computer over a network and executes commands
in a secure environment. All data using SSH is encrypted.
NOTE: See the HP 10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch Application Guide for information on SSH.
The following table describes the SSHD Configuration Menu options.

Description
Defines interval for auto-generating the RSA server key. The switch will
auto-generate the RSA server key at the interval defined in this command.
The value of zero (0) means the RSA server key auto-generation is
disabled. If the switch has been busy performing any other key generation
and the assigned time of interval expires, the RSA server will skip
generating the key.
Defines the administrator password that is for Secure Copy (SCP) only. The
username for this SCP administrator is scpadmin.
Typically, SCP is used to copy files securely from one machine to another.
In the switch, SCP is used to download and upload the switch
configuration using secure channels.
Generates the RSA host keys manually. The switch creates this key
automatically while configuring the switch with Secure Shell (SSH). But you
can generate the key manually by using this command if you need to
overwrite the key for security reasons. The command will take effect
immediately without executing the apply command.
