Enabling SSH on BES-53248 cluster switches

SSH is a requirement when using the Cluster Switch Health Monitor (CSHM) and log collection features. To enable SSH on BES-53248 cluster switches, you generate the SSH keys first and then enable SSH.

1. Generate the SSH keys:crypto key generate

   (switch) #show ip ssh
   
   SSH Configuration
   
   Administrative Mode: .......................... Disabled
   SSH Port: ..................................... 22
   Protocol Level: ............................... Version 2
   SSH Sessions Currently Active: ................ 0
   Max SSH Sessions Allowed: ..................... 5
   SSH Timeout (mins): ........................... 5
   Keys Present: ................................. DSA(1024) RSA(1024) ECDSA(521)
   Key Generation In Progress: ................... None
   SCP server Administrative Mode: ............... Disabled
   
   (switch) #config
   
   (switch) (Config)#crypto key generate rsa
   
   Do you want to overwrite the existing RSA keys? (y/n):y
   
   
   (switch) (Config)#crypto key generate dsa
   
   Do you want to overwrite the existing DSA keys? (y/n):y
   
   
   (switch) (Config)#crypto key generate ecdsa 521 
   
   Do you want to overwrite the existing ECDSA keys? (y/n):y
   
   
   (switch) (Config)#exit

2. Enable SSH: ip ssh server enable

   (switch) #ip ssh server enable
   
   (switch) #show ip ssh 
   
   SSH Configuration
   
   Administrative Mode: .......................... Enabled
   SSH Port: ..................................... 22
   Protocol Level: ............................... Version 2
   SSH Sessions Currently Active: ................ 0
   Max SSH Sessions Allowed: ..................... 5
   SSH Timeout (mins): ........................... 5
   Keys Present: ................................. DSA(1024) RSA(1024) ECDSA(521)
   Key Generation In Progress: ................... None
   SCP server Administrative Mode: ............... Disabled
   
   (switch) #
