APC AP7900 Manual Do Utilizador

Status: The 

 field Indicates the status of the host key (private key). In the 

control console, you display host key status by selecting

.

•

: No host key has been transferred 

to the Rack PDU, or a host key has been transferred improperly. 

A host key must be installed to the 

 directory of the Rack 

PDU.
•

: The Rack PDU is generating a host key because no valid 

host key was installed in its 

 directory.

•

: A host key is being loaded (i.e., being activated on the Rack 

PDU).

•

: The host key is valid. (If you install an invalid host key, the Rack 

PDU discards it and generates a valid one. However, a host key that the 
Rack PDU generates is only 768 bits in length. A valid host key created 
by the APC Security Wizard is 1024 bits.)

Filename:

You can create a host key file with the APC Security Wizard and then 
upload it to the Rack PDU by using the Web interface. Use the 

 

button for the 

 field to locate the file, then click 

. 

Alternatively, you can use FTP or Secure CoPy (SCP) to transfer the host 
key file to the Rack PDU.

Creating and uploading a host key in advance reduces the time 

required to enable SSH. If no host key is loaded when you enable SSH, 
the Rack PDU creates one when it reboots.
