Secure Shell (SSH) Commands
The steps required to use the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol for secure communication between a remote PC (the SSH
Client) and the Switch (the SSH Server), are as follows:
Create a user account with admin-level access using the create account admin <username> <password>
command. This is identical to creating any other admin-lever user account on the Switch, including specifying a
password. This password is used to login to the Switch, once secure communication has been established using the
SSH protocol.
Configure the user account to use a specified authorization method to identify users that are allowed to establish SSH
connections with the Switch using the config ssh authmode command. There are three choices as to the method
SSH will use to authorize the user, and they are password, publickey and hostbased.
Configure the encryption algorithm that SSH will use to encrypt and decrypt messages sent between the SSH Client
and the SSH Server.
Finally, enable SSH on the Switch using the enable ssh command.
After following the above steps, users can configure an SSH Client on the remote PC and manage the Switch using
secure, in-band communication.
The Secure Shell (SSH) commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) are listed (along with the appropriate
parameters) in the following table.
Command Parameters
enable ssh
disable ssh
config ssh authmode [password | publickey | hostbased] [enable | disable]
show ssh authmode
config ssh server {maxsession <int 1-8> | contimeout <sec 30-600> | authfail<int 2-20> | rekey [10min |
30min | 60min | never] | port <tcp_port_number 1-65535>}(1)
show ssh server
config ssh user <username 15> authmode [hostbased [hostname <domain_name 32> |
hostname_IP <domain_name 32> [<ipaddr> | <ipv6addr>]] | password | publickey]
show ssh user authmode
config ssh algorithm [3DES | AES128 | AES192 | AES256 | arcfour | blowfish | cast128 | twofish128 |
twofish192 | twofish256 | MD5 | SHA1 | RSA | DSA] [enable | disable]
show ssh algorithm
Each command is listed, in detail, in the following sections.
enable ssh
Purpose
Used to enable SSH.
Syntax enable ssh
Description
This command allows users to enable SSH on the Switch.
Parameters
None.
Restrictions
Only Administrator and Operator and Power-User-level users can issue this command.
Usage example:
To enable SSH:
DES-3528:admin# enable ssh
Command: enable ssh
TELNET will be disabled when enable SSH.
Success.
DES-3528:admin#
