Configuring Secure Shell (SSH)

Overview

The switches covered in this guide use Secure Shell version 2 (SSHv2) to

provide remote access to management functions on the switches via

encrypted paths between the switch and management station clients capable

of SSH operation.

SSH provides Telnet-like functions but, unlike Telnet, SSH provides encrypted,

authenticated transactions. The authentication types include:

■ Client public-key authentication

■ Switch SSH and user password authentication
