7.1 SSH Configuration Examples

7.1.1 SSH using Password Authentication

For this configuration example, we will use local password authentication on an ERS4500 switch
to authenticate the SSH client. Instead of using local user name and password authentication, the
user can be authenticated against a RADIUS or TACACS+ server. In this example, we will simply
use local password authentication.
The default read-only and read-write users names of RO and RW will be used, but, we will
change the default password for each user. We will assume password security is not enabled. If it
is, follow the guidelines in the Password Security section above. Also, we will enable SSH secure
mode which in turn will cut off Telnet, SNMP, and WEB access.
Putty will be used as the SSH Client.
ERS-STACKABLE: Step 1 – Change the default user names assuming a stack
configuration and password security is not enabled
ERS-Stackable(config)# cli password stack read-only readonlypasswd
ERS-Stackable(config)# cli password stack read-write rwonlypasswd
ERS-STACKABLE: Step 2 – Enable secure mode
ERS-Stackable(config)# ssh secure
Enable secure mode will cut off all remote access. Telnet, snmp
and web will be disabled. Are you sure (y/n) ? y
