SG350 / SG350X access to Management CLI using a connected host SSH client

[Filomena]

Hi,

I followed this video guide to enable SSH and manage the SG350 / SG350X switches using CLI with SSH login instead of the serial console. I started by only testing the user/password, not yet the certificate

However, it will not work unless I use the user/password configured under "Administration / User Accounts"

1- what's teh use of "Security / SSh Client / SSH User Authentication" and why it is not applied to SSH login while the user in "Administration / User Accounts" works ?

2- what is the difference between "Security / SSh Client" and "Security / SSh Server" ?

In other systems, the SSH server would run on the switch and we connect to it using an SSH client on a distant/remote host.

Can anyone explain to me the 3 above options to access the management CLI ?

Ok, it would have been better I read the docs than watching that video !

I understand now that it is in deed the SSH Server that must be configured and users on the Administration page, or later in the SSH Server Users

The SSH Client section is only for Centralizing management in a multi-switch environement
