Setting Up

Management using
SSH
This section describes to can set up command line Interface management
using SSH over a network.
To manage a switch through the command line interface over a network
using SSH:
1 Ensure that you have set up the switch with IP information as described in
“Methods of Managing a Switch” on page 56.
2 Check that you have the IP protocol correctly installed on your
management workstation. You can check this by trying to browse the
World Wide Web. If you can browse, the IP is installed correctly.
3 Check that you can communicate with the switch by entering a ping
command at the DOS prompt in the following format:
c:\ ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the switch)
If you get an error message, check that your IP information has been
entered correctly and that the switch is powered up.
The switch automatically generates a host key pair when it is powered up
for the first time, or after any reset to factory defaults. Host key
generation may take a while, during which time SSH connections to the
switch will be refused.
4 Install an SSH client application on the workstation from which you want
to use to access the switch.
3Com recommends the PuTTY, OpenSSH, and SSH Communications
Security Corp Secure Shell SSH clients.
