Configuring Secure Shell (SSH)

General Operating Rules and Notes

■ Public keys generated on an SSH client must be exportable to the switch.

The switch can only store 10 client key pairs.

■ The switch’s own public/private key pair and the (optional) client public

key file are stored in the switch’s flash memory and are not affected by

reboots or the erase startup-config command.

■ Once you generate a key pair on the switch you should avoid re-generating

the key pair without a compelling reason. Otherwise, you will have to re-

introduce the switch’s public key on all management stations (clients)

you previously set up for SSH access to the switch. In some situations this

can temporarily allow security breaches.

■ The switch does not support outbound SSH sessions. Thus, if you Telnet

from an SSH-secure switch to another SSH-secure switch, the session is

not secure.

❥ With SSH running, the switch allows one console session and up to five

other sessions (SSH and/or Telnet).
