XGS3 Command Guide
1-63
Usage Guide:
This command is used to generate the new host key. When SSH client logs on the server, the new host key is used
for authentication. After the new host key is generated and “write” command is used to save the configuration, the
system uses this key for authentication all the time. Because it takes quite a long time to compute the new key and
some clients are not compatible with the key generated by the modulus 2048, it is recommended to use the key
which is generated by the default modulus 1024.
Example:
Generate new host key.
Switch(config)#ssh-server host-key create rsa
