COMMAND USAGE
◆ The SSH server supports up to four client sessions. The maximum
number of client sessions includes both current Telnet sessions and
SSH sessions.
◆ The SSH server uses DSA or RSA 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.
◆ You must generate DSA and RSA host keys before enabling the SSH
server.
