Disable or enable the SSH capability on the management node
You can disable or re-enable SSH capability on the management node. SSH capability that provides NetApp
Support remote support tunnel (RST) session access is enabled on the management node by default.
Disabling SSH does not terminate or disconnect existing SSH client sessions to the management node. If you
disable SSH and elect to re-enable it at a later time, you can do so using the same API.
API command
curl -X PUT
"https://<managementNodeIP>/mnode/settings/ssh?enabled=<false/true>" -H

You can find the bearer ID used by the API by running a GET command and retrieving it from
the curl response.
