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

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 via the User Accounts
page as described on page 3-48.) 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 Version 1 key:
1024 35 1341081685609893921040944920155425347631641921872958921143173880

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.
Configure Challenge-Response 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 stored on the switch can
gain access. The following exchanges take place during this process:
