Configure SSH

The process of configuring SSH involves determining host and server key sizes and then generating the keys from the Configure SSH page. Use the following guidelines when determining host and server key sizes:

• The strength of the host and server keys range from 384 bits to 2,048 bits.

• The strength of the host key and server key must differ by at least 128 bits. It does not matter which key is stronger than the other.

• The greater the strength the greater the security, but the longer it takes to initiate a new SecureAdmin session and the higher the likelihood of decreasing filer performance.
