Disabling Http; Disabling Rlogin; Enabling Secure Protocols; Enabling Ssh And Scp - Nortel 8300 Important Notice

Disabling HTTP

You use the HTTP protocol to communicate with the switch for operations
by the built-in Web management server. The default setting for the Web
management server is disabled.
If the Web management server is enabled, you can use the following
commands to disable the HTTP protocol.
CLI interface
config web-server disable
NNCLI interface

Enabling secure protocols

The following sections describe typical applications for a secure protocol,
and how to enable the protocol on the Ethernet Routing Switch 8300.

Enabling SSH and SCP

To enable the SSH and SCP protocols, you must load the DES encryption
image into the Ethernet Routing Switch 8000 Series memory. You can
obtain the DES encryption image from the Nortel web site. For more
information the configuring and enabling SSH and SCP, refer to Nortel
Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 Configuration — Security using CLI and
NNCLI (NN46200-503) ..
