ssh server host-key generate

Prev Next

Generates new host keys for the SSH server. Three keys are generated:

  • RSA for SSHv1

  • RSA for SSHv2

  • DSA for SSHv2

The system automatically generates the host keys when it initializes, so this command is only needed if a security breach is suspected and the keys need to be changed.

Syntax

Parameters

None

Example

The following example generates new host keys.

hostname (admin) # ssh server host-key generate

User role
