Configuring SSH
1
The file system keyword makes the public keys in the active configuration part of the startup-config
file.
Disabling or re-enabling RSA challenge-response
authentication
RSA challenge-response authentication is enabled by default.
To disable RSA challenge-response authentication, enter the following command.
Virtual ADX(config)#ip ssh key-authentication no
Syntax: [no] ip ssh key-authentication yes | no
The yes option enables RSA challenge-response authentication.
Disabling or re-enabling Secure Copy
Secure Copy (SCP) is enabled by default.
To disable SCP, enter the following command.
Virtual ADX(config)#ip ssh scp disable
Syntax: [no] ip ssh scp disable | enable
NOTE
If you disable SSH, SCP is also disabled.
Using Secure Copy
Secure Copy (SCP) uses security built into SSH to transfer files between hosts on a network,
providing a more secure file transfer method than Remote Copy (RCP) or FTP. SCP automatically
uses the authentication methods, encryption algorithm, and data compression level configured for
SSH. For example, if password authentication is enabled for SSH, the user is prompted for a user
name and password before SCP allows a file to be transferred. No additional configuration is
required for SCP on top of SSH.
You can use SCP to copy files on the device, including the startup-config and running-config files, to
or from an SCP-enabled remote host.
• To copy startup configuration file from the Brocade Virtual ADX to a SCP client, use the
following command:
scp admin@virtualadx-mgmt-ip:startconfig
user_name@remote_client:/remote_directory_path/startconfig.txt
• To copy the running configuration file from the Brocade Virtual ADX to a SCP client, use the
following command:
scp admin@virtualadx-mgmt-ip:runconfig
user_name@remote_client:/remote_directory_path/runningconfig.txt
• To copy startup configuration from a SCP client to the Brocade Virtual ADX, use the following
command.
