Downloading SSH Host Keys
For the switch to accept SSH connections from a management station, the switch needs SSH host keys or
certificates. The switch can generate its own keys or certificates, or you can generate these externally (i.e., off-
line) and download them to the switch.
To download an SSH host key from a TFTP server to the switch, use the instructions in
. However, from the File Type field on the File Download page, select one of the
following key file types to download:
•
SSH-1 RSA Key File:
SSH-1 Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) Key File.
•
SSH-2 RSA Key PEM File:
SSH-2 Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) Key File (PEM Encoded).
•
SSH-2 DSA Key PEM File:
SSH-2 Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) Key File (PEM Encoded).
SSH Session Timeout
(Minutes)
This text field is used to configure the inactivity timeout value for incoming
SSH sessions to the switch. The acceptable range for this value is (1-160)
minutes.
Keys Present
Displays which keys: RSA, DSA, or both are present (if any).
Key Generation Status
Displays which keys: RSA or DSA, are being generated.
