Offending key in
/.ssh/known_hosts:1
RSA host key for
remhost
has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.
If the host key has been legitimately changed, it can be removed from the
~/.ssh/known_hosts
file and
the new fingerprint added. If it has not changed, this indicates a serious problem that should be
investigated immediately.
15.6.7 SSH tunneled serial bridging
You have the option to apply SSH tunneling when two Black Box console servers are configured for serial
bridging.
As detailed in
Chapter 4
, the
Server
console server is setup in
Console server
mode with either RAW or
RFC2217 enabled and the
Client
console server is set up in Serial Bridging Mode with the Server Address,
and Server TCP Port (4000 + port for RAW or 5000 + port # for RFC2217) specified:
Select
SSH Tunnel
when configuring the
Serial Bridging Setting.
Next, you will need to set up SSH keys for each end of the tunnel and upload these keys to the
Server
and
Client
console servers.
Client Keys:
The first step in setting up ssh tunnels is to generate keys. Ideally, you will use a separate, secure,
machine to generate and store all keys to be used on the
console servers
. If this is not ideal for your
situation, keys may be generated on the
console servers
themselves.
It is possible to generate only one set of keys, and reuse them for every SSH session. While we do not
recommend this, each organization will need to balance the security of separate keys against the
additional administration they bring.
