Before you begin
• Disable the sshd daemon. All SSHv2 commands, except enable, require that you disable the
sshd daemon.
• Set the user access level to read/write/all community strings.
• Disable all nonsecure access services. Avaya recommends that you disable the following
services: Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Telnet, and rlogin.
For more information about disabling access services, see
Enabling remote access services on
page 41.
• Avaya recommends that you use the console port (10101) to configure the SSHv2 parameters.
Downloading the software
Download new software to upgrade the switch.
Before you begin
• You must have access to the new software from the Avaya support site: https://
support.avaya.com. You need a valid user or site ID and password.
