With steps 1 - 3, above, completed and SSH properly configured on the switch,
if an SSH client contacts the switch, login authentication automatically occurs
first, using the switch and client public-keys. After the client gains login
access, the switch controls client access to the manager level by requiring the
passwords configured earlier by the aaa authentication ssh enable command.
Syntax: copy tftp pub-key-file < ip-address > < filename >
Copies a public key file into the switch.
aaa authentication ssh login public-key
Configures the switch to authenticate a client public-key at
the login level with an optional secondary password method
(Default: none).
To allow SSH access only to clients having the correct public key, you must
configure the secondary (password) method for login public-key to none.
Otherwise a client without the correct public key can still gain entry by
submitting a correct local login password.
Syntax: aaa authentication ssh enable < local | tacacs | radius > < local | none >
Configures a password method for the primary and second-
ary enable (Manager) access. If you do not specify an
optional secondary method, it defaults to none. If the primary
password method is local, you cannot use local for the sec-
ondary password method.
For example, assume that you have a client public-key file named Client-
Keys.pub (on a TFTP server at 10.33.18.117) ready for downloading to the
switch. For SSH access to the switch you want to allow only clients having a
private key that matches a public key found in Client-Keys.pub. For Manager-
level (enable) access for successful SSH clients you want to use TACACS+ for
primary password authentication and local for secondary password authenti-
cation, with a Manager username of "1eader" and a password of "m0ns00n".
To set up this operation you would configure the switch in a manner similar
to the following:
