5 - Configure SSH Server in Cisco Switch (Video in Khmer)

Hello everyone! Today we learn how to configure SSH server on a Cisco switch. The lessons are in Khmer, and you can practice safely in Packet Tracer or on a private lab network.

SSH lets you manage a switch securely over a network. This Khmer video shows how to set up SSH:

Basic setup

These example commands are for Cisco IOS switches. Command support can differ by model. Replace the example values with your own.

enable
configure terminal
hostname Switch1
ip domain-name example.local
username admin privilege 15 secret YOUR_STRONG_PASSWORD
crypto key generate rsa modulus 2048
ip ssh version 2
line vty 0 15
login local
transport input ssh
end
copy running-config startup-config

The switch also needs a working management IP address and network connection before you can connect to it. Set those for your lab environment.

Tips

Practice in Packet Tracer or a private lab before using a real switch.
Use a strong, unique password. Do not share it or put it in a public post.
Use SSH, not Telnet, for remote management because SSH encrypts the connection.
Allow SSH access only from trusted management devices or networks.
Check your setup with show ip ssh and show running-config.
If a command is not supported, check the guide for your switch model.
