Configuring Secure Shell (SSH)

General Operating Rules and Notes

■ Public keys generated on an SSH client must be exportable to the

switch. The switch can only store 10 keys client key pairs.

■ The switch’s own public/private key pair and the (optional) client

public key file are stored in the switch’s flash memory and are not

affected by reboots or the erase startup-config command.

■ Once you generate a key pair on the switch you should avoid re-

generating the key pair without a compelling reason. Otherwise, you

will have to re-introduce the switch’s public key on all management

stations (clients) you previously set up for SSH access to the switch.

In some situations this can temporarily allow security breaches.

■ The switch does not support outbound SSH sessions. Thus, if you

Telnet from an SSH-secure switch to another SSH-secure switch, the

session is not secure.
