I am currently trying to upgrade over 200 2960x switch stacks. Currently I am using the 'scp' command due to issues with tftp via ipsec tunnels.
I am using the following commands on my switch stack to a Linux server
archive download-sw /overwrite /imageonly scp://iosupgrade@192.168.9.22/c2960x-universalk9-tar.152-7.E7.tar
However, it promotes me 2 times to enter in a password. Once to download the file then another time when it appears to be extracting.
Is it possible to upload a private ssh key for user on linux server and specify the key when using the 'archive download-sw scp'?
