Section VII: Management Security

Configuring the SSH Server

This section describes how to configure the SSH server software on the
switch. For a description of all the steps required to configure an SSH
server, see “General Steps to Configuring SSH” on page 741.

This procedure assumes that you have already created the two key pairs.
If you have not created the keys, go to “Creating an Encryption Key” on
page 695.

While you are configuring the SSH feature, you must disable the SSH
server. When you have completed your configuration changes, enable the
SSH server to permit SSH client connections.

Note

Allied Telesyn recommends disabling the Telnet server before
activating SSH. Otherwise, the security functions provided by SSH
are lost. See “Enabling or Disabling the Telnet Server” on page 67.

To configure the SSH server software on the switch, perform the following
procedure:

1. From the Main Menu, type 7 to select Security and Services.

2. From the Security and Services menu, type 8 to select Secure Shell

(SSH).

The Secure Shell (SSH) Menu is shown in Figure 253.
