Changing Device Login from Telnet to SSH

Question

We've recently implemented SSH login for all our switches and while Telnet is still available we would like to move all the Cirrus switches over to using SSH.

How can I go about doing this, is there a batch process within Cirrus to do this?

Thanks in advance.

One caveat I have found is you can't use the shift key with select a group of devices. The only way I could make it work is use the ctrl key and click all the devices I want and then right-click and select edit multiple devices.
To select a group of Nodes similar to the way you would do it using the Shift key, click and hold on the first Node and just drag down (or up) to include the Nodes you need (almost as if you were going to move the Node). You can then use Ctrl+Click to add/remove Nodes or Groups from the selection.

*Note: You cannot start a selection by clicking in a blank area; you must click on a Node or Group and then drag the mouse up or down.

Ryan..I've tried this and can't get it to work. I have to manually click each device seperate to make it work. With over 700 devices my fingers hurt.

The click-and-drag method works for me. I've also found that if you've got your devices grouped you can right-click on the group name and select "edit multiple devices" and it will edit everthing in the group.
