5. Generate a new SSH DSA user key:
ssh dsa-user-key WORD<1–15> [size <1024–1024>]
6. Generate a new RSA host key:
ssh rsa-host-key [<1024–2048>]
Secure Shell configuration using Enterprise Device
Manager
Use Secure Shell version 2 (SSHv2) to enable secure communications support over a network for
authentication, encryption, and network Integrity.
On IPv6 networks, the VSP switch supports SSHv2 server only. The VSP switch does not support
outbound SSHv2 client over IPv6. The VSP switch supports both SSHv2 server and SSHv2 client.
For more information, see Changing Secure Shell configuration parameters on page 175.
For information about downloading and enabling security encryption, see Downloading the
software on page 159.
Downloading the software
Download new software to upgrade the switch.
