Enable Secure Shell (SSH) Service on 300/500 Series Managed Switches

Objective

By default, a 300 or 500 Series Managed Switch can be configured via the configuration utility through a web browser. Secure Shell (SSH) allows the administrator to configure the switch through a command line interface (CLI) with a third party program. In CLI mode via SSH, the administrator can execute more advanced configurations in a secure connection. This article explains how to enable SSH Service on the 300/500 Series Managed Switches.
