Here in this Lab we will learn how to configure ssh on cisco routers using IPv6.This is a Basic IPv6 Configuration Lab showing SSH configuration on router using IPv6 using cisco packet tracer.
STEP 1:Configure IPv6 address on router and Host PC.
first of all enable unicast-routing over router using ipv6 unicast-routing command and then assign ipv6 address on router interfaces using below command.
Router>enable Router#config t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)#ipv6 unicast-routing Router(config)#int fa0/0 Router(config-if)#ipv6 add 2000::1/64 Router(config-if)#no shut
STEP 2:Configure SSH on Cisco Router using IPv6.
Now i am going to configure ssh over router and the clients can ssh Router through ipv6 address. we will set hostname and domain name on router before ssh configuration.
We will also create a local username and password on router.
Router>enable Router#config t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)#hostname linuxtiwary linuxtiwary(config)#username satish password tiwary linuxtiwary(config)#ip domain-name wordpress.com
linuxtiwary(config)#ip ssh version 2 Please create RSA keys (of at least 768 bits size) to enable SSH v2.
Now its time to generate RSA key:
linuxtiwary(config)#crypto key generate rsa The name for the keys will be: linuxtiwary.wordpress.com Choose the size of the key modulus in the range of 360 to 2048 for your General Purpose Keys. Choosing a key modulus greater than 512 may take a few minutes. How many bits in the modulus [512]: 2048 % Generating 2048 bit RSA keys, keys will be non-exportable...[OK] linuxtiwary(config)#ip ssh version 2 *Mar 1 0:3:6.105: %SSH-5-ENABLED: SSH 2 has been enabled
Set ssh timeout and maximum authentication retries:
linuxtiwary(config)#ip ssh time-out 60 linuxtiwary(config)#ip ssh authentication-retries 3
create and configure ssh line:
linuxtiwary(config)#line vty 0 4 linuxtiwary(config-line)#login local linuxtiwary(config-line)#transport input ssh linuxtiwary(config-line)#exit
STEP 3:Check SSH connection from HOST PC.
