ˆ You activate and configure SSH on the master switch of an enhanced
stack, not on slave switches.
ˆ The AT-S63 software uses well-known port 22 as the SSH default port.
General Steps to
Configuring SSH
Configuring the SSH server involves several procedures. This section lists
the procedures to configuring the SSH feature.
1. Create two encryption key pairs on the master switch of the enhanced
switch. One pair will function as the host key and the other the server
key.
2. Configure and activate the Secure Shell server on the switch by
specifying the two encryption keys in the server software.
For instructions, see “Configuring SSH” on page 830.
3. Install SSH client software on your management station.
Follow the directions provided with the client software. You can
download SSH client software from the Internet. Two popular SSH
clients are PuTTY and CYGWIN.
4. Disable the Telnet server.
Although the switch allows the SSH and Telnet servers to be enabled
simultaneously, allowing Telnet to be enabled negates the security of
the SSH feature. To disable the Telnet server, see “Configuring the
Telnet Server” on page 75.
5. Log in to the switch from your SSH management station.
