Configuration procedure

  1. Configure the SCP server:

    <RouterB> system-view
    [RouterB] public-key local create rsa
    The range of public key size is (512 ~ 2048).
    NOTES: If the key modulus is greater than 512,
    It will take a few minutes.
    Press CTRL+C to abort.
    Input the bits of the modulus[default = 1024]:

    # Generate a DSA key pair.

    [RouterB] public-key local create dsa
    The range of public key size is (512 ~ 2048).
    NOTES: If the key modulus is greater than 512,
    It will take a few minutes.
    Press CTRL+C to abort.
    Input the bits of the modulus[default = 1024]:

    # Enable the SSH server function.

    [RouterB] ssh server enable
    

    # Configure an IP address for Ethernet 1/1. The client uses this address as the destination for SCP connection.

    [RouterB] interface ethernet 1/1
    [RouterB-Ethernet1/1] ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
    [RouterB-Ethernet1/1] quit
    

    # Set the authentication mode of the user interfaces to AAA.

    [RouterB] user-interface vty 0 4
    [RouterB-ui-vty0-4] authentication-mode scheme
    

    # Enable the user interfaces to support SSH.

    [RouterB-ui-vty0-4] protocol inbound ssh
    [RouterB-ui-vty0-4] quit
    

    # Create a local user named client001 with the password aabbcc and the service type ssh.

    [RouterB] local-user client001
    [RouterB-luser-client001] password simple aabbcc
    [RouterB-luser-client001] service-type ssh
    [RouterB-luser-client001] quit
    

    # Create an SSH user client001 with the service type scp and the authentication method password. (Optional. If an SSH user is not created, password authentication is used by default.)

    [RouterB] ssh user client001 service-type scp authentication-type password
    
  2. Configure an IP address for Ethernet 1/1.

    <RouterA> system-view
    [RouterA] interface ethernet 1/1
    [RouterA-Ethernet1/1] ip address 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0
    [RouterA-Ethernet1/1] quit
    [RouterA] quit
    
  3. Connect to the SCP server, download the file remote.bin from the server, and save it locally to the file local.bin.

    <RouterA> scp 192.168.0.1 get remote.bin local.bin
    Username: client001
    Trying 192.168.0.1 ...
    Press CTRL+K to abort
    Connected to 192.168.0.1 ...
