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.
