Service Manual
To disable SSH server functions, use the no ip ssh server enable command.
Using SCP with SSH to Copy a Software Image
To use secure copy (SCP) to copy a software image through an SSH connection from one switch to another, use the following
commands.
On the chassis, invoke SCP.
CONFIGURATION mode
copy scp: flash:
Example of Using SCP to Copy from an SSH Server on Another Switch
The following example shows the use of SCP and SSH to copy a software image from one switch running SSH server on UDP port
99 to the local switch.
Dell#copy scp: flash:
Address or name of remote host []: 10.10.10.1
Port number of the server [22]: 99
Source file name []: test.cfg
User name to login remote host: admin
Password to login remote host:
Removing the RSA Host Keys and Zeroizing Storage
Use the crypto key zeroize rsa command to delete the host key pairs, both the public and private key information for RSA 1
and or RSA 2 types. Note that when FIPS mode is enabled there is no RSA 1 key pair. Any memory currently holding these keys is
zeroized (written over with zeroes) and the NVRAM location where the keys are stored for persistence across reboots is also
zeroized.
To remove the generated RSA host keys and zeroize the key storage location, use the crypto key zeroize rsa command in
CONFIGURATION mode.
Dell(conf)#crypto key zeroize rsa
Conguring When to Re-generate an SSH Key
You can congure the time-based or volume-based rekey threshold for an SSH session. If both threshold types are congured, the
session rekeys when either one of the thresholds is reached.
To congure the time or volume rekey threshold at which to re-generate the SSH key during an SSH session, use the ip ssh
rekey [time rekey-interval] [volume rekey-limit] command. CONFIGURATION mode.
Congure the following parameters:
• rekey-interval: time-based rekey threshold for an SSH session. The range is from 10 to 1440 minutes. The default is 60 minutes.
• rekey-limit: volume-based rekey threshold for an SSH session. The range is from 1 to 4096 to megabytes. The default is 1024
megabytes.
Examples
The following example congures the time-based rekey threshold for an SSH session to 30 minutes.
Dell(conf)#ip ssh rekey time 30
The following example congures the volume-based rekey threshold for an SSH session to 4096 megabytes.
Dell(conf)#ip ssh rekey volume 4096
