Auto Configuration Download Protocol (TFTP or SCP)
The Auto Configuration download protocol can be configured, as follows:
• Auto By File Extension—(Default) If this option is selected, a user-defined
file extension indicates that files with this extension are downloaded using
SCP (over SSH), while files with other extensions are downloaded using
TFTP. For example, if the file extension specified is.xyz, files with the .xyz
extension are downloaded using SCP, and files with the other extensions
are downloaded using TFTP.
• TFTP Only—The download is done through TFTP regardless of the file
extension of the configuration file name.
• SCP Only—The download is done through SCP (over SSH) regardless of
the file extension of the configuration file name.
SSH Client Authentication Parameters
By default, remote SSH server authentication is disabled, so that the device
accepts any remote SSH server out of the box. You can enable remote SSH server
authentication to only allow connections from servers found in the trusted server
list.
SSH Client Authentication parameters are required to access the SSH server by
the client (which is the device). The default SSH Client authentication parameters
are:
• SSH Authentication method: by username/password
• SSH username: anonymous
• SSH password: anonymous
NOTE The SSH Client authentication parameters can also be used when downloading a
file for manual download (a download that is not performed through the DHCP Auto
Configuration feature).
