SSL certificates identify the SGX 5150 unit to peers and are used with some methods of wireless authentication. Provide a name at upload time to identify certificates on the SGX 5150 unit. You can upload Certificate and Private key combinations, obtained from an external Certificate Authority (CA), to the SGX 5150 unit. The SGX 5150 unit can also generate self-signed certificates with associated private keys.

To Configure SSH Settings
Using Web Manager
To configure SSH, on the
Administration
page, click
SSH
in the menu.
Using the CLI
To enter the SSH command level:
enable > ssh
Using XML
Include in your file:
<configgroup name=”ssh”>
Include in your file:
<configgroup name=”ssh client”>
Include in your file:
<configgroup name=”ssh server”>
SSL
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol that creates an encrypted connection between devices.
It also provides authentication and message integrity services. SSL is used widely for secure
communication to a Web server, and also for wireless authentication.
SSL certificates identify the SGX 5150 unit to peers and are used with some methods of wireless
authentication. Provide a name at upload time to identify certificates on the SGX 5150 unit.
You can upload Certificate and Private key combinations, obtained from an external Certificate
Authority (CA), to the SGX 5150 unit. The SGX 5150 unit can also generate self-signed certificates
with associated private keys.
Credentials
The SGX 5150 unit can generate self-signed certificates and their associated keys for both RSA
and DSA certificate formats. When you generate certificates, assign them a credential name to
help identify them on the SGX 5150 unit. Once you create your credentials, then configure them
with the desired certificates.
Bit Size
Select the bit length of the new key:
512
768
1024
2048
4096
Using a larger bit size takes more time to generate the key. Approximate times are:
1 second for a 512 bit RSA key
1 second for a 768 bit RSA key
1 second for a 1024 bit RSA key
2 seconds for a 512 bit DSA key
2 seconds for a 768 bit DSA key
20 seconds for a 1024 bit DSA key
Note:
Some SSH clients require RSA host keys to be at least 1024 bits long. This
device generates keys up to 2048 bits long.
