Changing Secure Shell parameters
You can use Enterprise Device Manager to change the SSHv2 configuration parameters. However,
Avaya recommends using the ACLI to perform the initial configuration of SSHv2. The VSP switch
does not support SSHv1.
Before you begin
• The user access level is read/write/all community strings.
About this task
If the SSHv2 service is enabled, all fields are dimmed until the SSH service is disabled. You must
disable the SSH service before setting the SSH service parameters.
To enable SSH, ensure to enable rsa-auth or dsa-auth, or both.
Procedure
1. In the navigation tree, open the following folders:Configuration > Security > Control Path.
2. Click SSH.
3. In the Enable options, choose the type of SSH service you want to enable.
4. In the Version options, choose a version.
5. In the Port field, type a port.
6. In the MaxSession field, type the maximum number of sessions allowed.
7. In the Timeout field, type the timeout.
8. From the KeyAction options, choose a key action.
9. In the RsaKeySize box, type the RSA key size.
10. In the DSAKeySize field, type the DSA key size.
11. Select the RsaAuth box for RSA authentication if you want.
12. Select the DsaAuth box for DSA authentication if you want.
13. Select the PassAuth box for password authentication if you want.
14. Select the SftpEnable box if you want SFTP enabled.
