Secure Shell Configuration - Dell PowerConnect 7048P Manual

Secure Shell Configuration

Secure Shell (SSH) is similar to Telnet but increases the security of CLI-
based management by creating a secure channel for communication between
the administrative system and the switch.
Use the Secure Shell page to manage the SSH mode and other information
that enables management of the switch through SSH.
To display the Secure Shell page, click System → Management Security →
Secure HTTP → Secure Shell in the navigation panel.

The following buttons are available at the bottom of the page:
• Download Host Keys — Clicking this button opens the File Download
page. For more information about downloading files to the switch,
including SSH host key files, see "Managing Images and Files" on page 349.
Note that to download an SSH key files SSH must be administratively
disabled and there must be no active SSH sessions.
