Telnet traffic on the network is not secure. This menu enables Secure Shell (SSH) access from any SSH client. The SSH
program securely logs into another computer over a network and executes commands in a secure environment. All
data using SSH is encrypted.
Secure Shell can be configured on the GbE2 Interconnect Switch using the console port only. Several of the above
menu options do not display if you access the GbE2 Interconnect Switch using Telnet or the Browser-Based Interface
(BBI).
NOTE: See the HP ProLiant BL p-Class GbE2 Interconnect Switch Application Guide for information on SSH.
The following table describes the SSHD Configuration Menu options.
Table 82 SSHD Configuration Menu options
Command Description
intrval <0-24> Defines interval for auto-generating the RSA server key. The switch will auto-
generate the RSA server key at the interval defined in this command. The value
of zero (0) means the RSA server key auto-generation is disabled. If the switch
has been busy performing any other key generation and the assigned time of
interval expires, the RSA server will skip generating the key.
scpadm Defines the administrator password that is for Secure Copy (SCP) only. The
username for this SCP administrator is scpadmin.
Typically, SCP is used to copy files securely from one machine to another. In the
GbE2 Interconnect Switch, SCP is used to download and upload the switch
configuration using secure channels.
hkeygen Generates the RSA host keys manually. The GbE2 Interconnect Switch creates
this key automatically while configuring the switch with Secure Shell (SSH). But
you can generate the key manually by using this command if you need to
overwrite the key for security reasons. The command will take effect immediately
without executing the apply command.
skeygen Generates the RSA server key. The GbE2 Interconnect Switch creates this key
automatically while configuring the switch with Secure Shell (SSH). You can
generate the key manually by using this command if you need to overwrite the
key for security reasons. The command will take effect immediately without
executing the apply command.
sshport <TCP port number> Sets the SSH server port number.
ena Enables the SCP apply and save.
dis Disables the SCP apply and save. This is the default for SCP.
on Enables the SSH server.
off Disables the SSH server. This is the default for the SSH server.
cur Displays the current SSH server configuration.
