13 Specify the NTP server, if applicable.
14 Specify the DNS server, if applicable.
15 Generate the SSH host keys for secure management and maintenance
communication from and to Nortel SNAS 4050 devices.
If you do not generate the SSH host keys at this stage, generate them later
when you configure the system (see “Configuring Nortel SNAS 4050 host
SSH keys using the CLI” on page 485 or “Configuring Nortel SNAS 4050
host SSH keys using the SREM” on page 548).
For communication between the Nortel SNAS 4050 and the network access
devices, generate the SSH key after you have completed the initial setup (see
“Managing SSH keys using the CLI” on page 84 or “Managing SSH keys
using the SREM” on page 102).
Note: If you do not have access to an NTP server at this point, you can
configure this item after the initial setup is completed. See “Configuring
date and time settings using the CLI” on page 475 or “Managing date
and time settings using the SREM” on page 528.
