Section VIII: Management Security
enhanced stacking feature. Management packets from your workstation
are first directed to the master switch before being forwarded to the slave
switch. The reverse is true as well. Management packets from a slave
switch first pass through the master switch before reaching your
management station.
Enhanced stacking uses a proprietary protocol different from Telnet and
SSH protocols. Consequently, there is no encryption between a master
switch and a slave switch. The result is that SSH encryption can only
occur between your workstation and the master switch, not between your
workstation and a slave switch.
This is illustrated in Figure 281. The figure shows an SSH management
station that is managing a slave switch of an enhanced stack. The packets
exchanged between the slave switch and the master switch are
transmitted in plaintext and those exchanged between the master switch
and the SSH management station are encrypted
Figure 281 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.
