Using Secure Shell 2 (SSH2)

In addition, the nslookup utility can be used to return the IP address of a hostname.

Table 4-5 lists commands used to configure the DNS client.

Table 4-5:DNS Client Configuration Commands

Command	Description

config dns-client add <ipaddress>

config dns-client default-domain <domain_name>

Adds a DNS name server(s) to the available server list for the DNS client. Up to three name servers can be configured.

Configures the domain that the DNS client uses if a fully qualified domain name is not entered. For example, if the default domain is configured to be foo.com, executing ping bar searches for bar.foo.com.

config dns-client delete <ipaddress>	Removes a DNS server.
nslookup <hostname>	Displays the IP address of the requested
	host.
show dns-client	Displays the DNS configuration.

Using Secure Shell 2 (SSH2)

The ExtremeWare Secure Shell 2 (SSH2) switch application allows you to encrypt Telnet session data between a network administrator using SSH2 client software and the switch, or to send encrypted data from the switch to an SSH2 client on a remote system. Image and configuration files may also be transferred to the switch using the Secure Copy Protocol 2 (SCP2). A command enables the switch to function as an SSH2 client, sending commands to a remote system via an SSH2 session. There are also commands to copy image and configuration files to the switch using the SCP2.

The ExtremeWare SSH2 switch application is based on the Data Fellows™ SSH2 server implementation. It is highly recommended that you use the F-Secure SSH client products from Data Fellows corporation. These applications are available for most operating systems. For more information, refer to the Data Fellows website at:

SSH2 is compatible with the Data Fellows SSH2 client version 2.0.12 or above. SSH2 is not compatible with SSH1.
