3. Choose the appropriate menu option. For example, choose configuration option 1 to enable the SSH client on this node. The configuration procedure copies the systemwide client configuration file SSH2_CONFIG. from the distribution kit into the directory TCPIP$SSH_DEVICE:[TCPIP$SSH.SSH2].
   
   

   Creating TCPIP$SSH_DEVICE:[TCPIP$SSH.SSH]SSH2_CONFIG.

   
   
   The SSH2_CONFIG file contains keywords and values that each client process reads when it starts. In many cases, the system manager may want to edit this file to make it user specific and to provide a secure environment for the client host. You can copy and edit your own version of the configuration file. For more information, see Chapter 3.
   
   After the SSH client is configured, the following message and prompt are displayed if, for example, the SSH server is not enabled and has not been configured:

   The SSH SERVER is not enabled.* Do you want to configure SSH SERVER [NO]:

4. If you want to configure the SSH server, type YES and continue with step 2 in the section Configuring the SSH Server. Otherwise, press Enter to respond NO to the prompt.
