Overview
The switches covered by this guide use Secure Shell version 1 or 2 (SSHv1 or
SSHv2) to provide remote access to management functions on the switches
via encrypted paths between the switch and management station clients
capable of SSH operation.
SSH provides Telnet-like functions but, unlike Telnet, SSH provides encrypted,
authenticated transactions. The authentication types include:
■
Client public-key authentication
Switch SSH and user password authentication
■
Client Public Key Authentication (Login/Operator Level) with User
Password Authentication (Enable/Manager Level). This option uses
one or more public keys (from clients) that must be stored on the switch. Only
a client with a private key that matches a stored public key can gain access
to the switch. (The same private key can be stored on one or more clients.)
1. Switch-to-Client SSH authentication.
