IPv6 Management Security Features
Secure Copy and Secure FTP for IPv6
By default, SSH is enabled for IPv4 and IPv6 connections on a switch. If you
have not disabled SSH connections from IPv6 clients (by entering the
ip ssh
ip-version 4 command), you can perform secure file transfers to and from IPv6
client devices by entering the ip ssh filetransfer command.
After an IPv6 client running SCP/SFTP successfully authenticates and opens
an SSH session on the switch, you can copy files to and from the switch using
secure, encrypted file transfers. Refer to the documentation that comes with
an SCP or SFTP client application for information on the file transfer com-
mands and software utilities to use.
N o t e s
Enabling SSH file transfer disables TFTP and Auto-TFTP operation.
The switch supports one SFTP session or one SCP session at a time.
All files on the switch have read-write permission. However, several SFTP
commands, such as
create
or
remove
, are not supported and return an error
message.
For more information on how to configure SCP or SFTP in an SSH session to
copy files to and from the switch, refer to the
“File Transfers” appendix in the
Management and Configuration Guide for your switch.
Syntax:. [no] ip ssh filetransfer
Enables SSH on the switch to connect to an SCP or SFTP
client application to transfer files to and from the switch.
Use the
no ip ssh filetransfer
command to disable the switch’s
ability to perform secure file transfers with an SCP or SFTP
client, without disabling SSH on the switch.
