Field Attributes
•
Public-Key of Host-Key – The public key for the host.
- RSA: The first field indicates the size of the host key (e.g., 1024), the
second field is the encoded public exponent (e.g., 65537), and the
last string is the encoded modulus.
- DSA: The first field indicates that the encryption method used by
SSH is based on the Digital Signature Standard (DSS). The last string
is the encoded modulus.
•
Host-Key Type – The key type used to generate the host key pair (i.e.,
public and private keys). (Range: RSA, DSA, Both: Default: RSA)
The SSH server uses RSA or DSA 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.
•
Save Host-Key from Memory to Flash – Saves the host key from
RAM (i.e., volatile memory to flash memory. Otherwise, the host key
pair is stored to RAM by default. Note that you must select this item
prior to generating the host-key pair.
•
Generate – This button is used to generate the host key pair. Note that
you must first generate the host key pair before you can enable the SSH
server on the SSH Server Settings page.
