request chassis internal-ssh

Syntax

Description

(EX Series and QFX Series switches only) Configure the SSH keys for transferring configuration data in a Virtual Chassis between the primary member and the other members. The command creates public SSH keys for all Virtual Chassis members and copies the keys to all members in a full mesh manner. The command also updates the known hosts file in each member with the host keys of other members in the Virtual Chassis .

This command is a prerequisite to enabling the system commit config-sync-with-scp configuration statement. This command is a prerequisite for configuration synchronization in a FIPS Virtual Chassis.

You can execute this command only on the primary Virtual Chassis member and as a root user.

Options

prepare-setup Create and copy the SSH keys for all members, and update the known hosts file.
clear-setup

Delete the SSH keys and entries in the known hosts file from all Virtual Chassis members.

If you execute this option after you've enabled the config-sync-with-scp statement, the command will automatically trigger the prepare-setup option after clearing the keys.

Required Privilege Level

root

Sample Output
