C o m m a n d D e s c r i p t i o n
ssh generate-key dsa
Generates the starting public parameters for the DSS algorithm that is
used in the key-exchange phase of the login.
ssh start
Initializes and starts the BiNOS SSH server.
ssh stop
Stops the BiNOS SSH server.
Remember that before you can use SSH, you must enable some kind of a user database on the
device. You can use the local database and locally create usernames and passwords, or use the
BiNOS RADIUS client application.
Description of Commands
ssh generate-key dsa
The
generate-key dsa
command, in Global Configuration mode, generates the starting public
parameters for the DSA algorithm that is used in the key-exchange phase of the login (For
more information, see
Supported Standards
below). Remember that you must enter this
command before starting your BiNOS SSH server for the first time.
Save the current configuration to avoid losing the parameters on reboot.
To change the parameters, use the same command. If at the moment of running the command
the SSH server is started, you must apply the
ssh start
and
ssh stop
commands so the
changes take effect.
Command Syntax

ssh start
The
ssh start
command, in Global Configuration mode, initializes and starts the BiNOS SSH
server. You can log safely into the device only after running the
ssh start
command.
