ip ssh

Last Updated : Nov 06, 2012 |

Enables the Secure Shell (SSH) service. SSH is a security protocol that enables you to establish a remote session over a secured tunnel, also called a remote shell. Use no ip ssh to disable the SSH service, and close any open connections currently using SSH. When disabling the service, the Branch Gateway issues a message listing all current management interfaces. If SSH is currently the only enabled management interface, the user is warned that the remote connection will be lost.

Note:

For normal execution of SSH protocol, the Branch Gateway must first be assigned host name identification. Use the hostname command to assign host name identification.

In order to enable SSH to be used, you must configure the server host key. See the crypto-key generate command.
