1.2 Configuring the Device as an SSH Server

1.2.1 SSH Server Configuration Task List

Complete the following tasks to configure an SSH server:

Enabling SSH Server

Configuring the User Interfaces for SSH Clients

Configuring
RSA and DSA
Keys
Configuring a Client Public Key
Configuring an SSH User
Setting the SSH Management Parameters
Note:
As a client uses either RSA or DSA algorithm for authentication and different clients
may support different algorithms, the server needs to generate both RSA and DSA key
pairs for successful authentication.
1.2.2 Enabling SSH Server
Follow these steps to enable SSH server:
Enter system view
Enable the SSH server
function
1.2.3 Configuring the User Interfaces for SSH Clients
An SSH client accesses the device through a VTY user interface. Therefore, you need
to configure the user interfaces for SSH clients to allow SSH login. Note that the
configuration takes effect at the next login.
