3Com Switch 8800 Advanced Software V5 Configuration Guide
960 CHAPTER 72: CONFIGURING SSH VERSION 2.0
Configure the authentication timeout time, number of attempts, and server key
update interval as default values.
Then, you need to run the SSH2.0-capable client software on the terminal
connected to the switch, configure the IP address of the reachable interface of the
SSH server (switch) to 192.168.0.1, configure the protocol type as SSH, and
configure the protocol version to 2. Launch the SSH connection, and enter the
username “client001” and password “aabbccddeeff” as prompted. Then, you can
enter the configuration interface of the switch.
login as: client001
client001@192.168.0.1’s password:

# Configure AAA on the user interface.

# Set the remote user login protocol on the switch to SSH.

# Set the privilege level to 3 for the user.

# Set the authentication mode to RSA for the remote user "client001" on the
switch.

Then, you need to generate an RSA key pair (including public key and private key)
at random on the SSH2.0-capable client software, and configure the RSA public
key (the RSA public key is a PKCS-compliant hexadecimal string that is encoded by
the SSHKEY.EXE software) to the specified rsa peer-public-key on the SSH server.
# Set an RSA key on the switch.
