Current status: OFF
New status: ON
>> # /cfg/sys/sshd/off (Turn SSH off)
Current status: ON
New status: OFF
>> # /cfg/sys/sshd/ena (Enable SCP apply and save)
SSHD# apply (Apply changes to start generating
RSA host and server keys)
RSA host key generation starts ........................................
