1.3.3 Configuring the SSH Server to Be Compatible with SSH1 Clients

Follow these steps to configure the SSH server to be compatible with SSH1 clients:
Enter system view
Configure the SSH server
to be compatible with
SSH1 clients

1.3.4 Generating/Destroying Key Pairs

This configuration task lets you generate or destroy a key pair. You must generate an
RSA and DSA key pair on the server for an SSH client to log in successfully. When
generating a key pair, you will be prompted to enter the key length in bits, which is
between 512 and 2048. The default length is 1024. In case a key pair already exists,
the system will ask whether to replace the existing key pair.
