Enabling SSH
To enable SSH functionality in your CSS, you must purchase the Secure
Management software option. If you purchased the Secure Management software
option:
• During the initial CSS order placement, the software Claim Certificate is
included in the accessory kit.
• After you receive the CSS, Cisco Systems sends the Claim Certificate to you
by mail.
Note If you cannot locate the Secure Management option Claim Certificate in the
accessory kit, call the Cisco Licensing department in the Technical Assistance
Center at (800) 553-2447 or email them at licensing@cisco.com.
Follow the instructions on the Claim Certificate to obtain the Secure Management
software license key.
To enter the Secure Management license key and activate SSH:
1. Log in to the CSS and enter the license command.
# license
2. Enter the Secure Management license key.
Enter the Software License Key (q to quit): nnnnnnnnnnnn
The Secure Management license key is now properly installed and the SSH
function activated.
