The VPN Gateway

The VPN Gateway can act both as SSH server (when a user connects to
the CLI using a SSH client) and as SSH client (when file or data transfers
are initiated from the VPN Gateway using the SCP or SFTP protocols).
The

generate

and

show

commands in the

/cfg/sys/adm/sshkeys

menu concern the former case, while the

knownhosts

menu concerns

the latter.

The VPN Gateway supports the use of three different SSH host key types:
SSH protocol version 1 always uses RSA keys, while for SSH protocol
version 2, either RSA or DSA keys can be used. The RSA keys for version
1 differ in form from those for version 2, and are referred to as "RSA1".
