To use the SSH server, complete these steps:
1.
Generate a Host Key Pair – Use the
ip ssh crypto host-key generate
command to create a host public/private key pair.
2.
Provide Host Public Key to Clients – Many SSH client programs automatically
import the host public key during the initial connection setup with the switch.
Otherwise, you need to manually create a known hosts file on the management
station and place the host public key in it. An entry for a public key in the known
hosts file would appear similar to the following example:
10.1.0.54 1024 35 15684995401867669259333946775054617325313674890836547254

3.
Import Client’s Public Key to the Switch – Use the
copy tftp public-key
command
to copy a file containing the public key for all the SSH client’s granted
management access to the switch. (Note that these clients must be configured
locally on the switch with the
username
command as described on page 25-2.)
The clients are subsequently authenticated using these keys. The current
firmware only accepts public key files based on standard UNIX format as shown
in the following example for an RSA key:
1024 35 1341081685609893921040944920155425347631641921872958921143173880

4.
Set the Optional Parameters – Set other optional parameters, including the
authentication timeout, the number of retries, and the server key size.
5.
Enable SSH Service – Use the
ip ssh server
command to enable the SSH
server on the switch.
6. Authentication
– One of the following authentication methods is employed:
Password Authentication (for SSH v1.5 or V2 Clients)
a.
The client sends its password to the server.
b.
The switch compares the client's password to those stored in memory.
c.
If a match is found, the connection is allowed.
Note:
To use SSH with only password authentication, the host public key must still be
given to the client, either during initial connection or manually entered into the
known host file. However, you do not need to configure the client’s keys.
Public Key Authentication
– When an SSH client attempts to contact the switch,
the SSH server uses the host key pair to negotiate a session key and encryption
method. Only clients that have a private key corresponding to the public keys
