1-86
Parameter:
modulus
is the modulus which is used to compute the host key; valid range is 768 to 2048. The default value is
1024.
Command mode:
Global Mode
Default:
The system uses the key generated when the ssh-server is started at the first time.
Usage Guide:
This command is used to generate the new host key. When SSH client logs on the server, the new host key is used
for authentication. After the new host key is generated and “write” command is used to save the configuration, the
system uses this key for authentication all the time. Because it takes quite a long time to compute the new key and
some clients are not compatible with the key generated by the modulus 2048, it is recommended to use the key
which is generated by the default modulus 1024.
Example:
Generate new host key.
Switch(config)#ssh-server host-key create rsa
1.2.22 ssh-server max-connection
Command:
ssh-server max-connection {<max-connection-number>|default}
Function:
Configure the max connection number supported by the SSH service of the switch.
Parameters:
<max-connection-number>: the max connection number supported by the SSH service, ranging from 5 to 16. The
default option will restore the default configuration.
Default:
The system default value of the max connection number is 5.
