Verifying the SSH and Telnet Configuration
Verifying the SSH and Telnet Configuration
To display the SSH configuration information, perform one of the following tasks:
SSH Example Configuration
The following example shows how to configure SSH:
Step 1 Generate an SSH server key.
switch(config)# ssh key rsa
generating rsa key(1024 bits).....
.
generated rsa key
Step 2 Enable the SSH server.
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# ssh server enable
Step 3 Display the SSH server key.
switch(config)# show ssh key
