Hi,

Task 18 requires a secure connection to the switch and disallows Telnet.

In the solution config, it has the following:

line vty 0 4
transport input ssh

line vty 5 15
transport input ssh

Questions:

1) In the documentation** on SSH, it says that the global command, ip ssh, is
required to enable SSH, but I didn't see that command anywhere in the solution
config. Should that command be there?

2) There's nothing in the documentation that says to use the command,
transport input ssh, under the virtual terminals. So, why is that in the
solution config?

3) Is it necessary to enter split the vty lines into 2 ranges: vty 0 5 and
vty 5 15 and enter the transport input ssh command twice? Could the command
line vty 0 15 have been entered instead? Why? or Why not?

4) Why is 15 used in the range vty 5 15?

5) Is there a link that explains this?

**The 3550 documentation refers the reader to
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122cgcr/fsecu
r_c/fothersf/scfssh.htm

for specific configuration instructions.

Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided. dt
