Configuring The Ssh Server - H3C S5100-SI Operation Manual

Figure 1-2 Network diagram for SSH connections
Configure the devices accordingly This document describes two cases:
The H3C switch acts as the SSH server to cooperate with software that supports the SSH client
functions.
The H3C switch acts as the SSH server to cooperate with another H3C switch that acts as an SSH
client.
Complete the following tasks to configure the SSH server and clients:
Server
An H3C switch
An H3C switch
An SSH server forms a secure connection with each SSH client. The following describe steps for
configuring an SSH client and an SSH server to form an SSH connection in between. If multiple SSH
servers need to form connections with multiple SSH clients, configure each client and each server
accordingly.

Configuring the SSH Server

The session establishment between an SSH client and the SSH server involves five stages. Similarly,
SSH server configuration involves five aspects, as shown in the following table.
