ssh host
key Status indicates the status of the host key (private key):
• SSH Disabled: No host key in use: When disabled, SSH cannot use a host key.
• Generating : The Rack PDU is creating a host key because no valid host key was
found.
• Loading : A host key is being activated on the Rack PDU.
• Valid : One of the following valid host keys is in the /ssh directory (the required
location on the Rack PDU):
•A 1024-bit or 2048-bit host key created by the Security Wizard
•A 2048-bit RSA host key generated by the Rack PDU
Add or Replace : Browse to and upload a host key file created by the Security
Wizard.
To use the Security Wizard, see the Appendix B: Security Handbook .
N OTE : To reduce the time required to enable SSH, create and upload a host key in
advance. If you enable SSH with no host key loaded, the Rack PDU takes up
to one minute to create a host key, and the SSH server is not accessible
during that time.
Remove : Remove the current host key.
To use SSH, you must have an SSH client installed. Most Linux and other
UNIX
platforms include an SSH client, but Microsoft Windows operating
systems do not. Clients are available from various vendors.
