Chapter 7 Configuring Switch-Based Authentication
Configuring the Switch for Secure Shell
To disable AAA, use the no aaa new-model global configuration command. To disable authorization,
use the no aaa authorization {network | exec} method1 global configuration command.
Note To secure the switch for HTTP access by using AAA methods, you must configure the switch with the
ip http authentication aaa global configuration command. Configuring AAA authentication does not
secure the switch for HTTP access by using AAA methods.
For more information about the ip http authentication command, see the Cisco IOS Security Command
Reference, Release 12.2.

Understanding SSH
SSH is a protocol that provides a secure, remote connection to a device. SSH provides more security for
remote connections than Telnet does by providing strong encryption when a device is authenticated. This
software release supports SSH Version 1 (SSHv1) and SSH Version 2 (SSHv2).
