Overwriting a Generated Key Pair
If the SSH key pair option is already generated for the required version, you can force the switch to
overwrite the previously generated key pair.
To overwrite a previously generated key pair using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Expand Switches > Security and then select SSH and Telnet.
You see the configuration in the Information pane.
Step 2 Highlight the key that you want to overwrite and click Delete Row.
Step 3 Click Apply Changes to save these changes or click the Undo Changes to discard unsaved changes.
Step 4 Click the Create Row.
You see the SSH and Telnet Key Create dialog box.
Step 5 Check the switches you want to assign this SSH key pair.
Step 6 Choose the key pair option type from the Protocols radio buttons.
Step 7 Set the number of bits that will be used to generate the key pairs in the NumBits drop-down menu.
Step 8 Click Create to generate these keys or click Close to discard any unsaved changes.
Enabling SSH or Telnet Service
By default, the SSH service is disabled. Fabric Manager enables SSH automatically when you configure
it.
To enable or disable SSH using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 Expand Switches > Security and then select SSH and Telnet.
Step 2 Select the Control tab and check an SSH check box or Telnet check box for each switch as shown in
Figure 39-12.
