SSH server configuration examples
When the switch acts as a server for password authentication
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 102, a host (the SSH client) and a switch (the SSH server) are directly connected.
Configure an SSH user on the switch so that the host can securely log in to the switch after passing
password authentication. Configure a username and password for the user on the switch.

Configuration procedure
1. Configure the SSH server.
# Generate the RSA key pairs.
<Switch> system-view
[Switch] public-key local create rsa
The range of public key size is (512 ~ 2048).
NOTES: If the key modulus is greater than 512,
It will take a few minutes.
Press CTRL+C to abort.
Input the bits of the modulus[default = 1024]:
