Establish an SSH connection to the Stelnet server 192.168.1.40.

ssh2 192.168.1.40

Username: client002

The server is not authenticated. Continue? [Y/N]:y

Do you want to save the server public key? [Y/N]:n

Select Yes to access the server and download the server's host public key. At the next connection
attempt, the client authenticates the server by using the saved server's host public key on the client.

SFTP configuration examples

Unless otherwise noted, devices in the configuration examples are in non-FIPS mode.
When you configure SFTP on a device that operates in FIPS mode, follow these restrictions and

guidelines:

The modulus length of the key pair must be 2048 bits.

When the device acts as an SFTP server, only RSA key pairs are supported. Do not generate a DSA
key pair on the SFTP server.

Network requirements

As shown in

Figure 94

, you can log in to the switch through the SFTP client that runs on the host and are

assigned the user role network-admin to execute file management and transfer operations. The switch

acts as the SFTP server and uses password authentication. The username and password of the client are

saved on the switch.
