Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

The system automatically updates the key pair of the SSH server at the configured interval. If the client is connected with the server, the public key of the server on the client is not immediately updated. The public key of the server on the client is updated only when the client is re-connected with the server.

Precautions

This command applies only to the SSHv1 protocol.

Example

# Configure rekey-interval value as 2 hours.
