Default Configuration
The SCP server is enabled by default.
Command Mode
Global Configuration mode
User Guidelines
The SCP server command enables SCP push operations, which allows clients
to copy files to the switch using the SCP protocol. During the the file transfer
operation, management operations on the switch are blocked. After
completion of the file transfer, the switch performs file validations similar to
operations performed using the copy command.
SCP transfers are initiated from a client, not on the switch.
Command History
Command introduced in version 6.6 firmware.
Example
This example shows the command used on a host computer to copy the
startup configuration onto the switch located at 192.168.0.1 using the admin
account.
key-generate
Use the key-generate command in Crypto Certificate Generation mode to
generate a new RSA key prior to generating the certificate key. The certificate
generated by a crypto certificate generate command is not a signed certificate
and is used to generate a certificate signing request. Once a signed certificate
is received, download the certificate to the switch.
Syntax

• length — Specifies the length of the SSL RSA key. If left unspecified,
this parameter defaults to 1024. (Range: 512–2048)
