Using

Prerequisite for using SSH

Before using the switch as an SSH server, you must install a publicly or commercially available

SSH client application on the computer(s) you use for management access to the switch. If you

want client public-key authentication, then the client program must have the capability to generate

or import keys

Public Key Formats

Any client application you use for client public-key authentication with the switch must have the

capability to export public keys. The switch can accept keys in the PEM-Encoded ASCII Format or

in the Non-Encoded ASCII format.

Figure 175 Public Key in PEM-Encoded ASCII format common for SSHv2 clients

Creating a Client Public-Key text file

These steps describe how to copy client public keys into the switch for challenge-response

authentication, and require an understanding of how to use your SSH client application.
