How To Enable SSH In 3com 4500 Switch

[afarooqui2000]

I want to eanble ssh in 3com 4500 switches and disable Telnet services

i am configuring my switch with following commands m i missing some thing plz suggest

??Configure the SSH server

# Create a VLAN interface on the switch and assign an IP address, which the SSH client will use as the destination for SSH connection.

<Switch> system-view

interface vlan-interface 1

ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0

quit

Generating the RSA key pair on the server is prerequisite to SSH login.

# Generate RSA key pair.

public-key local create rsa

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

user-interface vty 0 4

authentication-mode scheme

# Enable the user interfaces to support SSH.

protocol inbound ssh

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.

local-user client001

password simple abc

service-type ssh level 3

quit

# Specify the authentication method of user client001 as password.

ssh user client001 authentication-type password

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Configure the SSH client

# Configure an IP address (192.168.0.2 in this case) for the SSH client. This IP address and that of the

VLAN interface on the switch must be in the same network segment.

# Configure the SSH client software to establish a connection to the SSH server.

Take SSH client software Putty (version 0.58) as an example:

1) Run PuTTY.exe to enter the following configuration interface.

Figure 1-12 SSH client configuration interface (1)

In the Host Name (or IP address) text box, enter the IP address of the SSH server.

2) From the category on the left pane of the window, select SSH under Connection. The window as

shown in Figure 1-13 appears.

1-25

Figure 1-13 SSH client configuration interface (2)

Under Protocol options, select 2 from Preferred SSH protocol version.

3) As shown in Figure 1-13, click Open. If the connection is normal, you will be prompted to enter the

user name client001 and password abc. Once authentication succeeds, you will log in to the

server…
