Commands for Managing the Switch

conﬁgure ssh2 key pregenerated

configure ssh2 key pregenerated

Syntax Description

This command has no parameters or options.

Default

N/A.

Usage Guidelines

You must have administrator privileges to issue this command.

Before the switch can accept incoming SSH2 sessions, it must have an authentication key. This

command set the authentication key to a key that was generated previously.

Typically you do not issue this command interactively. Instead, you generate a key with the configure

ssh2 key

command, then issue the upload configuration command to write your conÞguration to a

Þle. The resulting conÞguration Þle contains a configure ssh2 key pregenerated command that

speciÞes the sequence of characters from which the key was generated. When you later load the

conÞguration Þle (using the download configuration command), the configure ssh2 key

pregenerated

command is executed.

If you do issue this command interactively, you will be prompted to enter the sequence of characters

from which the key was generated. Typically, you paste in text that you copied from a conÞguration Þle

that you saved after generating the key initially.

Changes made by this command are executed immediately and do not require the build command.

Example

A conÞguration Þle contains the following commands:

#----------------------------------------------------------------

# SSH configuration

#----------------------------------------------------------------

configure ssh2 key pregenerated
