Secure Socket Layer - Extreme Networks ExtremeWare XOS Guide Manual

Secure Socket Layer

You do not need to enable SSH2 or generate an authentication key to use the SSH2 and SCP2
commands from the ExtremeWare XOS CLI.
NOTE
The BlackDiamond 8800 family of switches and the Summit X450 switch do not support user-created VRs.
To send commands to a remote system using SSH2, use the following command:
ssh2 {cipher [3des | blowfish]} {port <portnum>} {compression [on | off]} {user
<username>} {debug <debug_level>} {<username>@} [<host> | <ipaddress>] {<remote
command>} {vr <vr_name>}
The remote commands can be any command acceptable by the remote system. You can specify the login
user name as a separate argument or as part of the user@host specification. If the login user name for
the remote system is the same as your user name on the switch, you can omit the username parameter
entirely.
For example, to obtain a directory listing from a remote Linux system with IP address 10.10.0.2 using
SSH2, enter the following command:
ssh2 admin@10.10.0.2 ls
To initiate a file copy from a remote system to the switch using SCP2, use the following command:
scp2 {cipher [3des | blowfish]} {port <portnum>} {debug <debug_level>} <user>@
[<hostname> | <ipaddress>]:<remote_file> <local_file> {vr <vr_name>}
For example, to copy the configuration file test.cfg on host system1 to the switch, enter the following
command:
scp2 admin@system1:/config/test.cfg localtest.cfg
To initiate a file copy to a remote system from the switch using SCP2, use the following command:
scp2 {cipher [3des | blowfish]} {port <portnum>} {debug <debug_level>} <local_file>
<user>@ [<hostname> | <ipaddress>]:<remote_file> {vr <vr_name>}
For example, to copy the configuration file engineering.cfg from the switch to host system1, enter the
following command:
scp2 engineering.cfg admin@system1:/config/engineering.cfg
Secure Socket Layer
Secure Socket Layer (SSLv3) is a feature of ExtremeWare XOS that allows you to authenticate and
encrypt data over an SSL connection to provide secure communication. The existing web server in
ExtremeWare XOS allows HTTP clients to access the network login page. By using HTTPS on the web
server, clients securely access the network login page using an HTTPS enabled web browser. Since SSL
encrypts the data exchanged between the server and the client, you protect your data, including
network login credentials, from unwanted exposure.
