The switch compares the decrypted bytes to the original bytes it
sent. If the two sets match, this means that the client's private key
corresponds to an authorized public key, and the client is
authenticated.
Note:
To use SSH with only password authentication, the host public key
must still be given to the client, either during initial connection or
manually entered into the known host file. However, you do not
need to configure the client’s keys.

Command Usage
• The SSH server supports up to four client sessions. The maximum
number of client sessions includes both current Telnet sessions and
SSH sessions.
• The SSH server uses DSA or RSA for key exchange when the client
first establishes a connection with the switch, and then negotiates with
the client to select either DES (56-bit) or 3DES (168-bit) for data
encryption.
• You must generate DSA and RSA host keys before enabling the SSH
server.
