First, if SSH v1 was initially configured on the firewall, then all SSH keys from version 1 must be deleted.
This can be done using the command “delete ssh device all”.
Example:
ns-> delete ssh device all
.
SSH disabled for vsys: 1
PKA keys deleted from device: 0
.
Host keys deleted from device: 1
Execute the ‘set ssh version v2’ command to activate SSH v2 for the device.
Example:
ns5-> set ssh version v2
SSH version 2 has been activated.
Then, enable SSH:
ns-> set ssh enable

ns-> get ssh
SSH V2 is active
SSH is enabled
SSH is ready for connections
Maximum sessions: 3
