When the Switch Acts as
an SSH Server and the
Authentication Type is
Publickey
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 134, establish an SSH connection between the host (SSH
client) and the switch (SSH Server) for secure data exchange. The host runs SSH2.0
client software. Publickey authentication is required.

Configuration procedure
n
Under the publickey authentication mode, either the RSA or DSA public key can
be generated for the server to authenticate the client. Here takes the RSA public
key as an example.
■ Configure the SSH server
# Create a VLAN interface on the switch and assign an IP address, which the
SSH client will use as the destination for SSH connection.

Generating the RSA and DSA key pairs on the server is prerequisite to SSH login.
