Configuring Switch-Based Authentication
To secure the switch for HTTP access by using AAA methods, you must configure the switch with the
Note
ip http authentication aaa global configuration command. Configuring AAA authentication does not
secure the switch for HTTP access by using AAA methods.
For more information about the ip http authentication command, see the Cisco IOS Security Command
Reference, Release 12.2.

SSH Servers, Integrated Clients, and Supported Versions
The SSH feature has an SSH server and an SSH integrated client, which are applications that run on the
switch. You can use an SSH client to connect to a switch running the SSH server. The SSH server works
with the SSH client supported in this release and with non-Cisco SSH clients. The SSH client also works
with the SSH server supported in this release and with non-Cisco SSH servers.
