486Chapter 10 Configuring system settings

During initial setup, there is an option to generate the SSH host keys automatically.

To generate and view the SSH keys used by all hosts in the cluster for secure management communications, use the following command:

/cfg/sys/adm/sshkeys

The SSH Host Keys menu displays.

The SSH Host Keys menu includes the following options:

/cfg/sys/adm/sshkeys followed by:

generate	Generates new SSH host keys (RSA1, RSA, and DSA)
	to be used by all hosts in the cluster.
	Enter Apply to apply the change immediately and
	create the key.
show	Displays the current SSH host keys and corresponding
	fingerprints for the cluster. The following formats are
	used:
	• RSA1 keys — there is no standard format. The
	format in the CLI output is the OpenSSH
	implementation, except that the line is wrapped. To
	fully conform to the OpenSSH implementation, you
	may need to edit the output back into a single line
	for use in the key storage of an SSH client.
	• RSA and DSA keys — the SECSH Public Key File
	Format, as described in Internet Draft
	draft-ietf-secsh-publickeyfile.
knownhosts	Accesses the SSH Known Host Keys menu, in order
	to manage the public SSH keys of remote hosts (see
	“Managing known hosts SSH keys using the CLI” on
	page 487)
