Logging Messages

There are event log messages when a new key is generated and zeroized for
the server:
ssh: New <num-bits> -bit [rsa | dsa] SSH host key installed
ssh: SSH host key zeroized
There are also messages that indicates when a client public key is installed or
removed:
ssh: <num-bits>-bit [rsa | dsa] client public key [installed | removed] ([manager|
operator] access) (key_comment)
Note: Only up to 39 characters of the key comment are included in the event log
message.

Debug Logging

To add ssh messages to the debug log output, enter this command:
HP Switch# debug ssh LOGLEVEL
where LOGLEVEL is one of the following (in order of increasing verbosity):
• fatal
• error
• info
• verbose
• debug
• debug2
• debug3
Meaning
After you execute the generate ssh [dsa | rsa]
command, the switch displays this message while it
is generating the key.
The switch's key is missing or corrupt. Use the
generate ssh [dsa | rsa] command to generate a new
key for the switch.
