Using the Secure Shell Protocol (SSH) Using the Secure Secure Shell (SSH) provides a secure replacement for management access Shell Protocol (SSH) via Telnet. When an SSH management client contacts the switch, the switch first compares the public-key and password provided by the client against those stored locally before granting access.
Page 80: Displaying The Ssh Key
4: M HAPTER ANAGING EVICE ECURITY To use SSH with password authentication, the host public key must still be given to the client, either during initial connection or manually entered into the known host file. You do not need to configure the client’s keys. The SSH server supports up to four client sessions.
Page 81: Generating The Ssh Key
Using the Secure Shell Protocol (SSH) Generating the SSH The SSH Key Generate Page generates both the DSA and RSA key pairs. No keys are generated in the switch’s factory default configuration. You must use this web page to create a public host key. Gererating a SSH key can take up to 15 minutes, during which time the user interface to the switch may not respond.
