Question
How can I configure SSH access to the Load Balancer switch (NG-8040)?

Answer
The relevant command is only available while using the serial access for configuration (see related article What kind of cable do I need for the 8040 Serial Console? - http://kb.finjan.com/article.asp?article=1472&p=4):

>> Main# /c/sys/access/sshd
------------------------------------------------------------
[SSH Server Menu]
     intrval - Set interval for generating the RSA server key
     hkeygen - Generate the RSA host key
     skeygen - Generate the RSA server key
     sshport - Set SSH server port number
     scpadm   - Set SCP-only admin password
     ena      - Enable SCP apply and save
     dis      - Disable SCP apply and save
     on       - Turn SSH server ON (SSHv1/SSHv2)
     off      - Turn SSH server OFF
     cur      - Display current SSH server configuration

>> SSH Server# on

Apply and save.

Telnet access just provides the command for enabling the SCP option:

>> Main# /c/sys/access/sshd
------------------------------------------------------------
[SSH Server Menu]
     sshport - Set SSH server port number
     ena      - Enable SCP apply and save
     cur      - Display current SSH server configuration

The current settings can be checked with the command "cur" (current)

>> Main# /c/sys/access/sshd/cur
SSH RSA server key autogen disabled
SSH RSA host key currently ready to service
SSH RSA server key currently ready to service
SSH server currently on port 22
SSH SCP-only administrator password not configured
SSH SCP apply and save currently enabled
SSH server currently ON

The config dump then shows
/c/sys/access/sshd/ena (SCP enabled)
/c/sys/access/sshd/on (SSH enabled)
