Secure Shell 2 (SSH2) is a feature of the ExtremeXOS software that allows you to encrypt session data between a network administrator using SSH2 client software and the switch or to send encrypted data from the switch to an SSH2 client on a remote system.
Configuration, image, public key, and policy files can be transferred to the switch using the Secure Copy Protocol 2 (SCP2).
The ExtremeXOS SSH2 switch application works with the following clients: Putty, SSH2 (version 2.x or later) from SSH Communication Security, and OpenSSH (version 2.5 or later). OpenSSH uses the RCP protocol, which has been disabled in the ExtremeXOS software for security reasons. Consequently, OpenSSH SCP does not work with the ExtremeXOS SSH implementation. You can use OpenSSH SFTP instead.
