    Packet Tracer - Configure SSH

    Addressing Table
    Device Interface IP Address Subnet Mask

    S1 VLAN 1 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0

    PC1 NIC 10.10.10.10 255.255.255.0

    Objectives
    Part 1: Secure Passwords
    Part 2: Encrypt Communications
    Part 3: Verify SSH Implementation

    Background
    SSH should replace Telnet for management connections. Telnet uses insecure plain text communications.
    SSH provides security for remote connections by providing strong encryption of all transmitted data between
    devices. In this activity, you will secure a remote switch with password encryption and SSH.

    Instructions Part 1: Secure Passwords


    a. Using the command prompt on PC1, Telnet to S1. The user EXEC and privileged EXEC password is
    cisco.
    b. Save the current configuration so that any mistakes you might make can be reversed by toggling the
    power for S1.

    c. Show the current configuration and note that the passwords are in plain text. Enter the command that
    encrypts plain text passwords:
    S1(config)# service password-encryption

    d. Verify that the passwords are encrypted.


    Part 2: Encrypt Communications
    Step 1: Set the IP domain name and generate secure keys.
    It is generally not safe to use Telnet, because data is transferred in plain text. Therefore, use SSH whenever it
    is available.
    a. Configure the domain name to be netacad.pka.
    b. Secure keys are needed to encrypt the data. Generate the RSA keys using a 1024 key length.

    Step 2: Create an SSH user and reconfigure the VTY lines for SSH-only access.
    a. Create an administrator user with cisco as the secret password.

    Packet Tracer - Configure SSH

    b. Configure the VTY lines to check the local username database for login credentials and to only allow SSH
    for remote access. Remove the existing vty line password.
    Step 3: Verify SSH Implementation
    a. Exit the Telnet session and attempt to log back in using Telnet. The attempt should fail.

    b. Attempt to log in using SSH. Type ssh and press Enter without any parameters to reveal the command
    usage instructions. Hint: The -l option is the letter “L”, not the number 1.

    c. Upon successful login, enter privileged EXEC mode and save the configuration. If you were unable to
    successfully access S1, toggle the power and begin again at Part 1.
