Configure SSH on FS S2805S Series Switch
Configuring SSH on the FS S2805S Series Switch allows for secure remote access to the switch using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. SSH provides encryption and authentication mechanisms to protect the communication between the remote client and the switch. Here's a step-by-step guide to configuring SSH on the FS S2805S Series Switch:
Prerequisites:
Before configuring SSH, ensure that you have the following information ready:
- Administrator-level access to the switch
Step 1: Access the Switch
- Connect to the switch using a console cable and a terminal emulation program like PuTTY or Tera Term.
- Log in to the switch using your administrator-level credentials.
Step 2: Generate RSA Key Pair
Switch>enable
Switch#crypto key generate rsa
Generate default SSH key successfully.
Switch#
Switch#crypto key refresh
Refresh SSH key successfully.
Step 3: Configure SSH
Switch#configure terminal
Switch(config)#ssh
Config SSH state successfully
Step 4: Configure Management IP of the switch
Switch(config)# interface vlan 1
Switch(config-if-vlan1)# ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
Switch(config-if-vlan1)# exit
Step 5: Verify configuration results
Switch(config)#show ssh
ssh version : 2.0
ssh state : on
ssh key file : available
Step 6: Log in to the switch using SSH on the Putty
