A.4.3 Access via SSH
The program PuTTY enables you to access your Switch via SSH. This pro-
gram is located on the product CD.
Start the program by double-clicking on it.
Enter the IP address of your Switch.
Select "SSH".
Click "Open" to set up the connection to your Switch. Depending on the
Switch and the time at which SSH was configured, it can take up to a
minute to set up the connection.
Shortly before the connection is set up, PuTTY displays a security alert mes-
sage and gives you the option of checking the fingerprint of the key.
Store the key file on your tftp server.
With the enable command, you switch to the privileged EXEC mode.
With the command "no ip ssh", deactivate the SSH function on the
Switch before you transfer the key to the Switch.
With the command "copy tftp://149.218.112.159/switch/rsa1.key
nvram:sshkey-rsa1", the Switch loads the key file to its non-volatile
memory.149.218.112.159 represents the IP address of the tftp serv-
er. switch represents the directory on the tftp server. rsa1.key repre-
sents the file name of the key.
With the command "ip ssh", you reactivate the SSH function on the
Switch after you have transferred the key to the Switch.
