Common Tasks
This section describes some common tasks performed using the SSH Server 
feature. 
Workflow1: To logon to the device over SSH using the device’s 
automatically-created (default) key, perform the following:
STEP 1
Enable SSH server in the TCP/UDP Services page and verify that SSH user 
authentication by public key is disabled in the SSH User Authentication page.
STEP  2
Log onto an external SSH client application, such as PuTTY, using the IP address of 
the device (it is not necessary to use a username or key that is known to the 
device).
Workflow2: To create an SSH user and logon to the device over SSH 
using this user, perform the following steps:
STEP 1
Generate an RSA or DSA key on an external SSH client application, such as 
PuTTY.
STEP  2
Enable SSH user authentication by public key or password in the SSH User 
Authentication page.
STEP  3
Enable Automatic Login if required (see 
 below).
STEP  4
Add a user in the SSH User Authentication page and copy in the public key 
generated externally.
STEP  5
Log onto an external SSH client application, such as PuTTY, using the IP address of 
the device and the user name of the user.
Workflow3: To import an RSA or DSA key from device A to device B, 
perform the following steps:
STEP 1
On device A, select an RSA or DSA key in the SSH Server Authentication page. 
STEP  2
Click Details and copy the public key of the select key type to Notepad or other 
text editor application.
STEP  3
Log on to device B and open the SSH Server Authentication page. Select either 
the RSA or DSA key, click Edit and paste in the key from device A.
