Prerequisites for Configuring Secure Shell
The following are the prerequisites for configuring the switch for secure shell (SSH):
•
For SSH to work, the switch needs an Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman (RSA) public/private key pair. This
is the same with Secure Copy Protocol (SCP), which relies on SSH for its secure transport.
•
Before enabling SCP, you must correctly configure SSH, authentication, and authorization on the switch.
•
Because SCP relies on SSH for its secure transport, the router must have an Rivest, Shamir, and Adelman
(RSA) key pair.
