Figure 191 SSH Remote Management of a Slave Switch

Because enhanced stacking does not allow for SSH encrypted
management sessions between a management station and a slave
switch, you configure SSH only on the master switch of a stack.
Activating SSH on a slave switch has no affect.

SSH

Configuration

Guidelines

Below are the guidelines to observe when you configure SSH:

❑ SSH requires two encryption key pairs. One key pair will function

as the host key and the other the server key. For instructions on
creating keys, refer to ”Creating an Encryption Key” on page 559.

❑ The two encryption key pairs must be of different lengths of at

least one increment (256 bits) apart. The recommended bit size
for a server key is 768 bits. The recommended size for the host key
is 1024 bits.

❑ You activate and configure SSH on the master switch of an

enhanced stack, not on slave switches.

❑ The AT-S63 software uses well-known port 22 as the SSH default

port.
