Secure Shell and Secure Copy
Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Copy (SCP) use secure tunnels to encrypt and secure messages between a
remote administrator and the switch. Telnet does not provide this level of security. The Telnet method of
managing a switch does not provide a secure connection.
SSH is a protocol that enables remote administrators to log securely into the switch over a network to
execute management commands. By default, SSH is disabled (off) on the switch.
SCP is typically used to copy files securely from one machine to another. SCP uses SSH for encryption of
data on the network. On a switch, SCP is used to download and upload the switch configuration via
secure channels. By default, SCP is disabled on the switch.
