To initiate an SSH session from the switch to a remote host:

1. Initiate an SSH session to the switch.

2. In the enable mode, execute the ssh <user-at-host> command.

user-at-host: Username and IPv4 or IPv6 address of the remote host in the user@host format.

Once successfully connected, the remote host prompts the credentials.

3. Enter the remote host credentials.

To end the remote host session, execute the exit command. The remote host displays the following message:

(remote-host) #exit

Connection closed by foreign host.

(host)#

Limitations

This feature has few limitations. They are:

n This feature is supported from the SSH session of the switch only.

n There is an inactivity timeout for the CLI sessions. When an administrator initiates a remote session (inner)

from the switch’s SSH session (outer), and the remote session takes more time than the inactivity timeout

session, the outer session times out although the inner session is active. The administrator has to log back

in to the outer session once logged off from the inner session.

n Designated telnet client control keys do not work for remote telnet sessions. When an administrator

initiates a remote telnet session (inner) from the switch’s SSH session (outer), the designated telnet client

control keys functions for the outer SSH session only. The administrator should designate unique control

keys for each remote telnet sessions.
