+Operation
+=========
+
+.. opcmd:: restart ssh
+
+ Restart the SSH daemon process, the current session is not affected, only the
+ background daemon is restarted.
+
+.. opcmd:: generate ssh server-key
+
+ Re-generated the public/private keyportion which SSH uses to secure
+ connections.
+
+ .. note:: Already learned known_hosts files of clients need an update as the
+ public key will change.
+
+.. opcmd:: generate ssh client-key /path/to/private_key
+
+ Re-generated a known pub/private keyfile which can e.g. used to connect to
+ other services (RPKI cache).
+
+ Example:
+
+ .. code-block:: none
+
+ vyos@vyos:~$ generate ssh client-key /config/auth/id_rsa_rpki
+ Generating public/private rsa key pair.
+ Your identification has been saved in /config/auth/id_rsa_rpki.
+ Your public key has been saved in /config/auth/id_rsa_rpki.pub.
+ The key fingerprint is:
+ SHA256:XGv2PpdOzVCzpmEzJZga8hTRq7B/ZYL3fXaioLFLS5Q cpo@LR1.wue3
+ The key's randomart image is:
+ +---[RSA 2048]----+
+ | oo |
+ | ..o |
+ | . o.o.. o.|
+ | o+ooo o.o|
+ | Eo* =.o |
+ | o = +.o*+ |
+ | = o *.o.o|
+ | o * +.o+.+|
+ | =.. o=.oo|

+
+ Two new files ``/config/auth/id_rsa_rpki`` and ``/config/auth/id_rsa_rpki.pub``
+ will be created.
