Configuring SSH
Brocade’s implementation of SSH supports two kinds of user authentication:
•
DSA challenge-response authentication
, where a collection of public keys are stored on the
device. Only clients with a private key that corresponds to one of the stored public keys can
gain access to the device using SSH.
•
Password authentication
, where users attempting to gain access to the device using an SSH
client are authenticated with passwords stored on the device or on a TACACS/ or
RADIUS server
Both kinds of user authentication are enabled by default. You can configure the device to use one
or both of them.
To configure Secure Shell on a BigIron RX, do the following.
1. Generate a host DSA public and private key pair for the device.
2. Configure DSA challenge-response authentication.
3. Set optional parameters.
You can also view information about active SSH connections on the device as well as terminate
them.
Generating a host key pair
When SSH is configured, a public and private
host DSA key pair
is generated for the device. The
SSH server on the device uses this host DSA key pair, along with a dynamically generated
server
DSA key pair
, to negotiate a session key and encryption method with the client trying to connect to
it.
The host DSA key pair is stored in the BigIron RX’s system-config file. Only the public key is
readable. The public key should be added to a “known hosts” file (for example,
$HOME/.ssh/known_hosts on UNIX systems) on the clients who want to access the device. Some
SSH client programs add the public key to the known hosts file automatically; in other cases, you
must manually create a known hosts file and place the BigIron RX’s public key in it. Refer to
“Providing the public key to clients”
on page 870 for an example of what to place in the known
hosts file.
While the SSH listener exists at all times, sessions can not be started from clients until a key is
generated. Once a key is generated, clients can start sessions. The keys are also not displayed in
the configuration file by default. To display the keys, use the ssh show-host-keys command in
Privileged EXEC mode. To generate a public and private DSA host key pair on a BigIron RX, enter the
following commands.
BigIron RX(config)# crypto key generate
When a host key pair is generated, it is saved to the flash memory of all management modules.
To disable SSH in SSHv2 on a BigIron RX, enter the following commands.
BigIron RX(config)# crypto key zeroize
When SSH is disabled, it is deleted from the flash memory of all management modules.
Syntax: crypto key generate | zeroize
