 OpenSSH_3.9 for Linux (FC 3)

Note – The switch implementation of SSH is based on versions 1.5 and 2.0, and supports SSH

clients from version 1.0 through version 2.0. SSH clients of other versions are not supported. You

may configure the client software to use protocol SSH version 1 or version 2.

By default, SSH service is not enabled on the switch. Once the IP parameters are configured, you

can access the command line interface to enable SSH. To establish an SSH connection with the

switch, run the SSH program on the workstation by issuing the ssh command, followed by the

user account name and the switch IP address:

You will then be prompted to enter your password.

Note – The first time you run SSH from the workstation, a warning message might appear. At the

prompt, enter yes to continue.

>> # ssh <user>@<switch IP address>
