Establishing a Connection Using SSH (Secure Shell)

configuring or collecting information from the VPN Gateway is encrypted.
For information about different user accounts and default passwords, see

“Accessing the NVG Cluster” (page 140)

.

During the initial setup of the VPN Gateway(s), you are provided with
the choice to generate new SSH host keys. It is recommended that you
do so, to maintain a high level of security when connecting to the VPN
Gateway using a SSH client. If you fear that your SSH host keys have
been compromised, you can create new host keys at any time by using the

/cfg/sys/adm/sshkeys/generate

command. When reconnecting to

the VPN Gateway after having generated new host keys, your SSH client
will display a warning that the host identification (or host keys) has been
changed.
