Sets SSHv2 session rekeying interval by specifying a time interval value and/or amount of transferred data.
| ssh2 | Specifies setting SSHv2 behavior. |
| rekey | Specifies rekey request interval for SSH connection. |
| time-interval | Sets rekey time interval. |
| time_interval | Specifies rekey time interval value in minutes. Valid range 1 to 1,440. |
| none | Specifies no time limit for rekey interval (default). |
| data-limit | Specifies rekey interval in terms of amount of data transferred. |
| data_size | Sets data transfer limit in MB. Valid range is 1 to 4,096 MB. |
| default | Sets the data limit to the default specified by the cipher. Values range between 1GB and 4GB. This is the default setting. |
If nothing is specified, the rekey time interval is set to none, and the data limit is specified by the cipher in use.
You can set both a time limit and a data limit for the rekey interval. Your selections for rekeying appear in the output of the show ssh2 command.
The following example sets the SSHv2 rekey time interval to one hour (60 mins):
configure ssh2 rekey time-interval 60
