Note

You cannot disable the SSH server when there is an active SSH
connection.

Host Key ID
Enter the ID number of the encryption key for the SSH host. The key
must already exist on the switch. To view key ID numbers, refer to
“Displaying the Encryption Keys” on page 422. The default is Not
Defined.

Note

You cannot create encryption keys from the web browser interface,
but you can from the menus and command line interfaces.

Server Key ID
Enter the ID number of the encryption key for the SSH server. The key
must already exist on the switch. The default is Not Defined.

Server Expiry Time
Set the time, in hours, for the server key to expire.

This timer determines how often the server key is regenerated. A
server key is regenerated for security purposes. A server key is only
valid for the time period configured in the Server Key Expiry
(Expiration) Time timer. Allied Telesyn recommends that you set this
field to 1. With this setting, a new key is generated every hour.

Login Timeout
Enter a number between 60 and 600. The default is 180.

This is the time it takes to release the SSH server from an incomplete
SSH client connection. Enter a time in seconds. The default is 180
seconds (3 minutes). The range is 60 to 600 seconds.

5. Click Apply.

6. From the Configuration menu, select the Save Config option to

permanently save your changes. (This option is not displayed if there
are no changes to save.)
