•
Absent – Certificate is not available on the device
•
Generation In Progress – An SSL certificate is currently being generated.
Download Certificates (Button) Allows you to download an SSL certificate file from a remote system to the
device. Note that to download SSL certificate files, SSL must be administratively
disabled.
Generate Certificate (Button)

If you change any of the parameters, click
Submit
to apply the changes to the system. If you want the
switch to retain the new values across a power cycle, you must save the configuration.
SSH Configuration
Use the SSH Configuration page to view and modify the
server settings on the
device. SSH is a network protocol that enables access to the CLI management interface by using an SSH
client on a remote administrative system. SSH is a more secure access method than
because it
encrypts communication between the administrative system and the device. This page also allows you
to download or generate SSH host keys for secure CLI-based management.
To access this page, click

in the navigation menu.
Table 29: SSH Configuration Fields
Field
Description
SSH Admin Mode
Enables or disables the SSH server administrative mode. When this mode is
enabled, the device can be accessed by using an SSH client on a remote system.
SSH Port
The
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)
port number on which the SSH server
listens for requests. Existing SSH login sessions are not affected by a change in
this value, although establishment of any new SSH sessions must use the new
port number.
Before changing this value, verify that the desired port number is not currently
being used by any other service.
SSH Version 1
When this option is selected, the SSH server on the device can accept
connections from an SSH client using SSH-1 protocol. If the option is clear, the
device does not allow connections from clients using the SSH-1 protocol.
SSH Version 2
When this option is selected, the SSH server on the device can accept
connections from an SSH client using SSH-2 protocol. If the option is clear, the
device does not allow connections from clients using the SSH-2 protocol.
