Netconf Over Ssh Configuration Example With Password Authentication; Network Requirements; Configuration Procedure - HP FlexNetwork 10500 Series Security Configuration Manual

# Establish an SCP connection to the SCP server 192.168.0.1 based on the 192-bit Suite B
algorithms.

NETCONF over SSH configuration example with
password authentication
Unless otherwise noted, devices in the configuration examples are in non-FIPS mode.
When you configure SSH on devices operating in FIPS mode, follow these restrictions and
guidelines:
•
The modulus length of the key pair must be 2048 bits.
•
When the device acts as the NETCONF-over-SSH server, it supports only RSA and ECDSA key
pairs. If both RSA and ECDSA key pairs exist on the server, the server uses the ECDSA key
pair.

Network requirements

As shown in
•
The switch uses local password authentication.
•
The client's username and password are saved on the switch.
Establish a NETCONF-over-SSH connection between the host and the switch, so that you can log in
to the switch to perform NETCONF operations.

The range of public key size is (512 ~ 2048).
If the key modulus is greater than 512, it will take a few minutes.
Press CTRL+C to abort.
