4. Configure the parameters as needed. The parameters are described

below:

Status
Enables or disables the feature. Choose from one of the following:

Disabled - Disables the SSH server. You must set this field to Disabled
when configuring SSH. This is the default.

Enabled - Enables the SSH server. Select this value after you have
finished configuring SSH.

Note

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

Host Key ID
Specifies the key ID of the encryption key for the SSH host key. The
key pair must already exist on the switch.

Server Key ID
Specifies the ID of the encryption key for the SSH server key. The key
pair must already exist on the switch and it must be different from the
host key.

Server Key Expiry Time
Specifies the time, in hours, for the server key to expire. This timer
determines how often the switch generates a new server key. 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 you set this field to 1. With this
setting, a new key is generated every hour.

The default is 0 hours which means the server key never expires. The
range is 0 to 5 hours.

Login Timeout
Specifies the amount of time a switch waits before releasing 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. When you have finished setting the parameters, click Apply.

Changes to the SSH server settings are immediately implemented on
the switch.

6. To permanently save the change, select the Save Config menu

selection.
