Configuring Switch-Based Authentication
The switch supports an SSHv1 client.
SSH supports the Data Encryption Standard (DES) encryption algorithm, the Triple DES (3DES)
encryption algorithm, and password-based user authentication.
SSH also supports these user authentication methods:
•
•
•
Note
This software release does not support IP Security (IPSec).
Limitations

Configuration Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when configuring the switch as an SSH server or SSH client:
•
•
•
OL-25303-03
TACACS+ (for more information, see the
page
1-10)
RADIUS (for more information, see the
page
1-17)
Local authentication and authorization (for more information, see the
Local Authentication and Authorization" section on page
The switch supports Rivest, Shamir, and Adelman (RSA) authentication.
SSH supports only the execution-shell application.
The SSH server and the SSH client are supported only on DES (56-bit) and 3DES (168-bit) data
encryption software.
The switch supports the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption algorithm with a 128-bit
key, 192-bit key, or 256-bit key. However, symmetric cipher AES to encrypt the keys is not
supported.

server)
An RSA key pair generated by a SSHv1 server can be used by an SSHv2 server, and the reverse.
If the SSH server is running on a stack master and the stack master fails, the new stack master uses
the RSA key pair generated by the previous stack master.
If you get CLI error messages after entering the crypto key generate rsa global configuration
command, an RSA key pair has not been generated. Reconfigure the hostname and domain, and then
enter the crypto key generate rsa command. For more information, see the
