The Ridgeline SSH Enabling Key
Ridgeline’s SSH2 capability can be enabled by installing the Ridgeline SSH enabling key. This module
must be downloaded from Extreme Networks, as it is subject to export restrictions. It is not provided
with the Ridgeline software distribution.
The SSH2 capability uses strong encryption, so prior to downloading the enabler module you must
provide certain information to Extreme Networks in order to confirm compliance with the export
regulations administered by the Bureau of Industry and Security under the U.S. Department of
Commerce.
To obtain the SSH enabling key, fill out the End-User Certification Form at:
http://www.extremenetworks.com/apps/EPICenter/ssh.asp
●
After you submit the form, Extreme Networks performs a review and responds to you, generally
within two business days.
●
If the information you provided conforms to the applicable export regulations, you receive an email
with the information needed to obtain the SSH enabling key file. Unzip and place the SSH enabling
key file in your existing Ridgeline installation directory to unlock the Ridgeline SSH2 features.
NOTE
The file “ssh-enabler” must be installed without a file extension.
●
If the information you provided does not conform to the export regulations, you will receive an
email indicating a denial of acceptance.
The SSH enabling key must be placed in the top-level Ridgeline installation directory (by default
\Program Files\Extreme Networks\Ridgeline 3.1
in Windows, or
/opt/ExtremeNetworks/
Ridgeline3.1
under Solaris or Linux).
