SSH Configuration Guidelines

Here are the guidelines to configuring SSH:

SSH requires two encryption key pairs. One key pair functions as the
host key and the other as the server key.

The two encryption key pairs must be of different lengths of at least
one increment (256 bits) apart. The recommended bit size for a server
key is 768 bits. The recommended size for the host key is 1024 bits.

You activate and configure SSH on the master switch of an enhanced
stack, not on slave switches.

The AT-S63 software uses well-known port 22 as the SSH default port.
