Hi,

how did you connect before the firmware update?

http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/csbss/sf200e/administration_guide/OL-22849.pdf

As the document discribes use the ssh management key page to generate the key.

If there is a key already, delete it and generate a new one.

Hi,

with SSH you can't connect by web browser, you can only connect to the cli.

If you want more security with your web browser enable https as shown in my first screen.

In your SSH configuration you set up an SSH user and password, is that the correct method you try to connect?

the more easiest way to connect is with an rsa public key, so server and client exchange the keys by themselves.

To do so, look at my second screen. Sry but i have only an sf302-08 for showing purposes, so i used your screen and marked the steps.

1. Delete the RSA und DSA key by marking them and klick on delete

2. Mark as user authentication "by RSA public key" and klick on apply

3. check the TCP/UDP services, SSH must be enabled manually (screen1)

4. reboot the switch

Now try to connect to the switch by putty or another ssh capable switch.

Hello,

The 200 series switches do not support CLI configuration.  If you want CLI, either through console, SSH, or telnet you would need an 300 series or higher.  For the 200 series your only option to configure the device is to use the web GUI.

There are some new switches coming out, the 220s that do support some CLI access, but your switch does not.

Hope that helps and thank you for choosing Cisco,

Hello,

To enable SSH in the CLI simply type in ip ssh server.

To enable it through the web GUI, go to Security >> TCP/UDP Services and check the box for SSH.

Then simply connect to the switch's management IP using your preferred SSH client.

Hope that helps,
