DES-3550 Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Switch

SSH
C
OMMANDS
The steps required to use the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol for secure communication between a remote PC (the SSH Client)
and the Switch (the SSH Server), are as follows:
•
•
•
•
Finally, enable SSH on the Switch using the
enable ssh
command.
•
Command Parameters
Create a user account with admin-level access using the
create account admin <username> <password>
command.
This is identical to creating any other admin-lever user account on the Switch, including specifying a password.
This password is used to login to the Switch, once secure communication has been established using the SSH
protocol.
Configure the user account to use a specified authorization method to identify users that are allowed to establish
SSH connections with the Switch using the
config ssh user authmode
command. There are three choices as to the
method SSH will use to authorize the user, and they are password, publickey and hostbased.
Configure the encryption algrothim that SSH will use to encrypt and decrypt messages sent between the SSH Client
and the SSH Server.
After following the above steps, you can configure an SSH Client on the remote PC and manage the Switch using
secure, in-band communication.
The Secure Shell (SSH) commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) are listed (along with the appropriate parameters) in
the following table.
enable ssh
[password | publickey | hostbased] [enable | disable]
config ssh server
{maxsession <int 1-8> | contimeout <sec 120-600> |
authfail <int 2-20> | rekey [10min | 30min | 60min | never]
show ssh server
config ssh user
<username> authmode [hostbased [hostname <domain_name> |
hostname_IP <domain_name> <ipaddr>] | password | publickey]
show ssh user
config ssh algorithm
[3DES | AES128 | AES192 | AES256 | arcfour | blowfish | cast128
| twofish128 | twofish192 | twofish256 | MD5 | SHA1 | RSA | DSA]
[enable | disable]
show ssh algorithm
disable ssh
config ssh authmode
show ssh authmode
Each command is listed, in detail, in the following sections.
