Cisco Catalyst 9500 User Manual

• Enable the SCP option while using the pscp.exe file.
• An RSA public-private key pair must be configured on the device for SSH to work.
Note
Similar to SCP, SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) can be used to copy switch configuration or image files.
For more information, refer the Configuring SSH File Transfer Protocol chapter of the Security Configuration
Guide.
Secure Copy Performance Improvements
SSH bulk data transfer mode can be used to enhance the throughput performance of SCP that is operating in
the capacity of a client or a server. This mode is disabled by default, but can be enabled by using the ip ssh
bulk-mode global configuration command.
We recommend that you enable this command only for transferring large files, and disable it after the file
transfer is complete.
