Configuring Secure Shell (SSH)

Further Information on SSH Client Public-Key Authentication

For example, if you wanted to copy a client public-key file named clientkeys.txt

from a TFTP server at 10.38.252.195 and then display the file contents:

Figure 8-14. Example of Copying and Displaying a Client Public-Key File Containing Two Different Client

Public Keys for the Same Client

Replacing or Clearing the Public Key File. The client public-key file

remains in the switch’s flash memory even if you erase the startup-config file,

reset the switch, or reboot the switch.

■ You can remove the existing client public-key file or specific keys by

executing the clear crypto client-public-key command. This clears the

public keys from both management modules. The module that is not

active must be in standby mode.

Syntax: clear crypto client-public-key

Deletes the client-public-key file from the switch.

Syntax: clear crypto client-public-key 3

Deletes the entry with an index of 3 from the

client-public-key file on the switch.

Enabling Client Public-Key Authentication. After you TFTP a client-

public-key file into the switch (described above), you can configure the switch

to allow the following:

■ If an SSH client’s public key matches the switch’s client-public-key

file, allow that client access to the switch. If there is not a public-key

match, then deny access to that client.
