Enter one or multiple user

CAUTION:
When SSH protocol is specified, to ensure a successful login, you must
■
configure the AAA authentication using the authentication-mode scheme
command.
The protocol inbound ssh configuration fails if you configured
■
authentication-mode password or authentication-mode none. When
you configure SSH protocol successfully for the user interface, then you cannot
configure authentication-mode password or authentication-mode none
any more.
Generating or destroying RSA key pairs
This configuration task is used to generate or destroy the server RSA key pair,
including the host RSA key pair and the server RSA key pair.
The name of the host RSA key pair is in the format of switch name plus _Host,
■
for example, 3Com_Host.
The name of the server RSA key pair is in the format of switch name plus
■
_Server, for example, 3Com_Server.
n
Server RSA key pair (3Com_Server) is not used in SSH2.0; therefore, when the rsa
local-key-pair create command is executed, the system only prompts you the
host RSA key pair (3Com_Host) is generated, and does not inform you the
information about the server RSA key pair even if the server RSA key pair is
generated in the background for the purpose of SSH1.x compatibility. You can use
the display rsa local-key-pair public command to display the generated key
pairs.
After you configure the rsa local-key-pair command, the system prompts you to
define the key length.
In SSH1.x, the key length is in the range of 512 to 2,048 (bits).
■
In SSH2.0, the key length is in the range of 768 to 2,048 (bits).
