If you are configuring your switches as part of a new AFX 2K system installation, a supervisor module replacement, or a reset to factory default settings, to use the Ethernet switch health monitor (CSHM) log collection feature, you must verify that SSH is enabled on the switches.
You must be connected to the switch using the serial console.
