As a client uses either RSA or DSA algorithm for authentication and different
clients may support different algorithms, the server needs to generate both RSA
and DSA key pairs for successful authentication.
Follow these steps to enable the SSH server:
To do...
Enter system view
Enable the SSH server
function
An SSH client accesses the device through a VTY user interface. Therefore, you
need to configure the user interfaces for SSH clients to allow SSH login. Note that
the configuration takes effect at the next login.
Follow these steps to configure the protocols for the current user interface to
support:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter user interface view of
one or more user interfaces
Set the login authentication
method to scheme
Configure the user interface(s)
to support SSH login
