If you are using the Ethernet Switch Health Monitor (CSHM) and log collection features, verify that SSH and SSH keys are enabled on the switches.

Steps

  1. Verify that SSH is enabled:

    (switch) show ssh server
ssh version 2 is enabled

  2. Verify that the SSH keys are enabled:

    show ssh key

    Show example 
    (switch)# show ssh key
