User ID log of an SSH session established by SCP client
Avaya Virtual Services Platform 8200 logs the user ID of an SSH session initiated by the SCP client.
If an SCP client establishes an SSH session, the message appears in the following format:
CP1 [08/06/15 09:43:42.230:UTC] 0x000d8602 00000000 GlobalRouter SSH INFO SSH user
authentication succeeded for user rwa on host 10.68.231.194
CP1 [08/06/15 09:43:42.232:UTC] 0x000d8602 00000000 GlobalRouter SSH INFO SSH SCP session
start by user rwa on host 10.68.231.194
CP1 [08/06/15 09:43:44.020:UTC] 0x000d8602 00000000 GlobalRouter SSH INFO SCP session
closed by user rwa on host 10.68.231.194
CP1 [08/06/15 09:43:44.021:UTC] 0x000d8602 00000000 GlobalRouter SSH INFO SSH session
closed by user rwa on host 10.68.231.194
• rwa is the user name.
User ID log of an SSH session established by SFTP
The VSP modular switch logs the user ID of an SSH session initiated by SFTP. If SFTP establishes
an SSH session, the message appears in the following format:
CP1 [08/06/15 09:45:32.903:UTC] 0x000d8602 00000000 GlobalRouter SSH INFO SSH user
authentication succeeded for user rwa on host 10.68.231.194
CP1 [08/06/15 09:45:32.905:UTC] 0x000d8602 00000000 GlobalRouter SSH INFO SFTP session
start: user rwa on host 10.68.231.194
CP1 [08/06/15 09:45:46.775:UTC] 0x000d8602 00000000 GlobalRouter SSH INFO SFTP session
closed by user rwa on host 10.68.231.194
CP1 [08/06/15 09:45:46.776:UTC] 0x000d8602 00000000 GlobalRouter SSH INFO SSH SFTP
session end: user rwa on host 10.68.231.194
CP1 [08/06/15 09:45:46.776:UTC] 0x000d8602 00000000 GlobalRouter SSH INFO SSH session
closed by server for user rwa on host 10.68.231.194
• rwa is the user name.
User key files
Generating keys requires that you have free space on the flash. A typical configuration requires less
than 2 kbyte of free space. Before you generate a key, verify that you have sufficient space on the
flash, using the dir command. If the flash is full when you attempt to generate a key, an error
message appears and the key is not generated. You must delete some unused files and regenerate
the key.
If you remove only the public keys, enabling the SSH does not create new public keys.
SSHv2 password authentication uses the same login and password authentication mechanism as
Telnet. SSHv2 client also supports DSA public key authentication compatible with the VSP modular
switch SSHv2 server and Linux SSHv2 server for SSHv2.
If the VSP modular switch is the client, use the following table to locate the DSA user key files for
DSA authentication for user access level rwa.
