How to enable SSH on H3C S5800?

[Oneil Matlock]

Hello folks,

I am trying to figure out how to enable a new user for SSH access.

<H3C> system-view

[H3C] interface vlan-interface 1

[H3C-Vlan-interface1] ip address 192.168.32.30 255.255.255.0

[H3C-Vlan-interface1] quit

# This command was not available!

[H3C] rsa local-key-pair create

# Set the authentication mode for the user interfaces to AAA.

[H3C] user-interface vty 0 4

[H3C-ui-vty0-4] authentication-mode scheme

# Enable the user interfaces to support SSH.

[H3C-ui-vty0-4] protocol inbound ssh

[H3C-ui-vty0-4] quit

# Create local client “client001”, and set the authentication password to “abc”, protocol type to SSH, and command privilege level to 3 for the client.

[H3C] local-user sshuser

[H3C-luser-client001] password simple abc

[H3C-luser-client001] service-type ssh level 3

[H3C-luser-client001] quit

# Specify the authentication method of user client001 as password  This command was not available.

[H3C] ssh user sshuser authentication-type password

# Instead I ran this command available.

[H3C] ssh user sshuser service-type all authentication-type password

I can ping it but connection is refused.

I am following this article example.

Anyone have a suggestion?

You should add:

[...]

ssh server enable

public local create rsa

local-user sshuser

  password simple abc

  service-type ssh

  authorization-attribute level 3

 [...]

That will solve your issue.
