Fix Recommendation

Configure the HP FlexFabric Switch to implement cryptographic mechanisms to protect the confidentiality of nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic communications.

Generate local RSA key pairs on the SSH server:

[HP] public-key local create rsa
Enable the SSH server function:
[HP] ssh server enable

Enable the SFTP server function:

[HP] sftp server enable

Configure the user interfaces for SSH clients:

[HP] user-interface vty 0 63
[HP-ui-vty0-63] authentication-mode scheme

Configure a local device management user, assign password and enable service-type SSH:

[HP] local-user admin
[HP-luser-admin] password simple xxxxxx
[HP-luser-admin] service-type ssh

Check Contents

Determine if the HP FlexFabric Switch implements cryptographic mechanisms to protect the confidentiality of nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic communications.

[HP] display ssh server status

SSH server: Enable
SSH version : 2.0
SSH authentication-timeout : 60 second(s)
SSH server key generating interval : 0 hour(s)
SSH authentication retries : 3 time(s)
SFTP server: Enable
SFTP Server Idle-Timeout: 10 minute(s)
Netconf server: Disable

[HP] display current | i sftp
sftp server enable

If SSH and SFTP protocols are not configured for nonlocal device maintenance , this is a finding.
