Why can't I SSH my PowerConnect 6224

Hi,

I can only access the switch by WebGui.

When I make SSH connection it doesn't connect.


Thanks.

    Hi, please check below, reference link https://dell.to/3rC42CF;

     

    Also I'm adding CLI guide if you need it "Dell PowerConnect 6200 Series System CLI Reference Guide" https://dell.to/3HQh5pG

    Step 1: Create user

    Use the following command to create a specific username with a password and privilege level of 15. The different privilege  levels are: Level  0 – No access, Level  1 – Guest access, and Level 15 – Admin access.   console# config Console(config)#username password level <0,1,15>

    Step 2: Create an enable password

    The following commands are to create a password that is used to access the higher privilege levels. Once this is set, after entering enable in the console, It will prompt for a password.   console(config)#aaa authentication enable enable console(config)#enable password

    Step 3: Set Login method

    The following command sets the login method to use local user credentials on the switch.

    console(config)#aaa authentication login local

    Step 4: Create certificate/keys

    The following commands are to create the required certificate and keys.   console(config)# crypto certificate 1 generate console(config-cert)#key-generate                                                                              console(config-crypto-cert)# exit console(config)# crypto key generate rsa console(config)# crypto key generate dsa Console(config)#ip ssh pubkey-auth

    Step 5: Enable SSH

    The following command is to enable access to the switch through SSH.

    console(config)# ip ssh server

    Step 6: Enable HTTPS

    The following command will enable access to the switch through HTTPS.

    console(config)# ip https server    

    Step 7: Disable Telnet

    Before disabling Telnet, make sure you can connect through SSH. Then run this command to disable Telnet access.

    console(config)#ip telnet server disable

    Step 8: Disable HTTP

    Before disabling HTTP, make sure you can connect through HTTPS. Then run this command to disable HTTP access.

    console(config)#no ip http server

    Step 9: Saving config

    Once this is done make sure to test everything out. Making sure you cannot Telnet or HTTP to the switch. If everything is good then save your running config.   console(config)#Copy running-config startup-config

     

    Hope that helps!
