Configuration Guidelines
The SSH server on this switch supports both password and public key
authentication. If password authentication is specified by the SSH client,
then the password can be authenticated either locally or via a RADIUS or
remote authentication server, as specified by the
authentication login
command on page 22-5. If public key
authentication is specified by the client, then you must configure
authentication keys on both the client and the switch as described in the
following section. Note that regardless of whether you use public key or
password authentication, you still have to generate authentication keys on
the switch and enable the SSH server.
To use the SSH server, complete these steps:
1.
Generate a Host Key Pair – Use the
ip ssh crypto host-key generate
command to create a host public/private key pair.
2.
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

3.
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 with the
username
command as described on page 22-2.) 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 key:
