Chapter 37: Secure Shell (SSH) Commands

Example

The following is an example of the command sequence to configuring the SSH software on the server:

1.The first step is to create the two encryption key pairs. Each key must be created separately and the key lengths must be at least one increment (256 bits) apart. The following two commands create the host and server keys using the recommended key lengths:

create enco key=1 type=rsa length=1024 description=”host key”

create enco key=2 type=rsa length=768 description=”server key”

2.The following command disables Telnet: disable telnet

3.The last command activates the SSH software and sets the host key as encryption key pair 1 and the server key as key pair 2:

enable ssh server hostkey=1 serverkey=2
