[Switch] public-key local create dsa
[Switch] ssh server enable
# Configure an IP address for VLAN interface 1. This address will serve as the destination of the SSH
connection.
[Switch] interface vlan-interface 1
[Switch-Vlan-interface1] ip address 192.168.1.40 255.255.255.0
[Switch-Vlan-interface1] quit
# Set the authentication mode for the user interfaces to AAA.
[Switch] user-interface vty 0 4
[Switch-ui-vty0-4] authentication-mode scheme
# Enable the user interfaces to support SSH.
[Switch-ui-vty0-4] protocol inbound ssh
[Switch-ui-vty0-4] quit
# Create local user client001, and set the user command privilege level to 3
[Switch] local-user client001
[Switch-luser-client001] password simple aabbcc
[Switch-luser-client001] service-type ssh

[Switch-luser-client001] quit
# Specify the service type for user client001 as Stelnet, and the authentication mode as password.
This step is optional.
[Switch] ssh user client001 service-type stelnet authentication-type password
2) Establish a connection between the SSH client and the SSH server
