Step 3
Run:
authentication-mode
aaa
The AAA authentication mode is configured.
Step 4
Run:
protocol inbound
ssh
The VTY user interface is configured to support SSH.
NOTE
If a VTY user interface is configured to support SSH, the VTY user interface must be configured with
AAA authentication. Otherwise, the
protocol inbound
ssh
command cannot be configured.

6.4.4 Configuring an SSH User and Specifying SFTP as One of
Service Types
To allow a user to log in to the router by using SFTP, you must configure an SSH user, configure
the router to generate a local RSA key pair, configure a user authentication mode, specify a
service type and authorized directory for the SSH user.
Context
l
SSH users can be authenticated in four modes: RSA, password, password-rsa, and all. You
must create a local user with the specified user name in the AAA view.
l
Configuring the router to generate a local RSA key pair is a key step for SSH login. If an
SSH user logs in to an SSH server in password authentication mode, configure the server
to generate a local RSA key pair. If an SSH user logs in to an SSH server in RSA
authentication mode, configure both the server and the client to generate local RSA key
pairs.
NOTE
Password-rsa authentication requires success of both password authentication and RSA authentication. The
all authentication mode requires success of either password authentication or RSA authentication.
Do as follows on the router that functions as an SSH server:
Procedure
Step 1
Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2
Run:
aaa

{
simple
|
cipher
