Allied Telesis AT-8800 Configuring Users, Managing Secure Copy Sessions, Software Version 143

Software Version 2.8.1 143

Configuring Users

To copy files using SCP, you must be configured as a SSH user. Use the command:

add ssh user=username {password=passwordkeyid=id} [ipaddress=ipadd] [mask=mask]

Further details on configuring and managing SSH users can be found in the

Secure Shell chapter of the Software Reference.

SSH users must use either password authentication, or RSA public/private key authentication. Further details on creating RSA keys can be found in the Compression and Encryption Services chapter of the Software Reference.

Managing Secure Copy Sessions

Monitoring sessions You can monitor the current status of SCP sessions using the show ssh session command. This shows both uploads and downloads, and displays whether the router or switch is acting as a client or server. Use the command:

show ssh session=scp

To see details about SCP file transfers, such as the number of successful or failed file transfers, use the command:

show ssh counter=scp

Removing sessions SSH and SCP sessions can now be deleted without disabling the SSH server. When a SSH session begins, it is assigned an ID number. This number is used to delete the session. To do this:

1.Use the show ssh session command to see current sessions.

2.Delete the unwanted sessions.

To delete only the SCP sessions in Figure 44, use the command:

delete ssh session=4,5

To delete all sessions, use the command:

delete ssh session=all
