Chapter 28: Secure Shell (SSH)

612

Section IV: Security

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 613.

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
”Enabling or Disabling the Telnet Server” on page 68.

5. Log in to the switch from your SSH management station.
