If you are using SSH for secure communications with SSH-enabled network devices, go to the next section, Getting Started with Secure Communications on Cisco MNM.

Getting Started with Secure Communications on Cisco MNM

This section tells you how to enable secure communications on network devices managed with Cisco MNM.

Before you begin: The CEMF Crypto Add-on Package must already be installed (see the “Installing the Cisco EMF SSH Add-On Package” section on page 2-12), and you must know the security policy for the elements you are enabling.

Note SSH is enabled on network elements directly, not by the use of Cisco MNM. See the network element documents at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/vcallcon/ps2027/tsd_products_support_series_home.html for Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch, Cisco HSI, and Cisco BAMS.

You do not need to know the specific SSH version. Cisco MNM automatically negotiates the correct version (SSH 2 if available or SSH 1.x).

Do you have existing (already deployed in Cisco MNM) network elements that are now SSH-enabled? See the “Updating Existing SSH-EnabledNetwork Elements” section on page 2-18.

Do you want to deploy new network elements that are SSH-enabled? See the “Deploying New SSH-Enabled Elements” section on page 2-18.

Updating Existing SSH-Enabled Network Elements

Use this procedure to set SSH as the security policy for network elements that are already deployed and SSH-enabled:

Step 1 In the Map Viewer, select the SSH-enabled element you want to update.

Step 2 Right-click and choose Accounts. The Accounts dialog box opens.

Step 3 For Security Policy, select SSH. (None is the default.)

Step 4 Click Save.

Step 5 Repeat the steps above for the remaining SSH-enabled elements.

Deploying New SSH-Enabled Elements

Use this procedure to deploy new elements that have been SSH-enabled:

Step 1 For Security Policy in the Deployment Wizard template, select SSH and follow the on-screen prompts.

Step 2 Click Finish.
