Secure Shell Server Configuration - HP 445860-B21 - 10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch Reference Manual

Secure Shell Server configuration

Telnet traffic on the network is not secure. These commands enable Secure Shell (SSH) access from any
SSH client. The SSH program securely logs into another computer over a network and executes
commands in a secure environment. All data using SSH is encrypted.
NOTE:
See the HP 10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch Application Guide for information on SSH.
The following table describes the SSHD Configuration commands.
SSHD Configuration commands
Table 78
Command
ssh interval <0-24>
ssh scp-password
ssh generate-host-key
ssh generate-server-key
ssh port <TCP port number>
ssh scp-enable
no ssh scp-enable
ssh enable
Description
Defines interval for auto-generating the RSA server key. The switch will
auto-generate the RSA server key at the interval defined in this command.
The range is 0-24 hours.
The value of zero (0) means the RSA server key auto-generation is
disabled. If the switch has been busy performing any other key generation
and the assigned time of interval expires, the RSA server will skip
generating the key.
Command mode: Global configuration
Defines the administrator password that is for Secure Copy (SCP) only.
The username for this SCP administrator is scpadmin.
Typically, SCP is used to copy files securely from one machine to another.
In the switch, SCP is used to download and upload the switch
configuration using secure channels.
Command mode: Global configuration
Generates the RSA host keys manually. The switch creates this key
automatically while configuring the switch with Secure Shell (SSH). But
you can generate the key manually by using this command if you need to
overwrite the key for security reasons. The command will take effect
immediately.
Command mode: Global configuration
Generates the RSA server key. The switch creates this key automatically
while configuring the switch with Secure Shell (SSH). You can generate
the key manually by using this command if you need to overwrite the key
for security reasons. The command will take effect immediately.
Command mode: Global configuration
Sets the SSH server port number.
Command mode: Global configuration
Enables the SCP apply and save.
Command mode: Global configuration
Disables the SCP apply and save. This is the default for SCP.
Command mode: Global configuration
Enables the SSH server.
