SSH is enabled and working.
We had a maintenance windows yesterday, so we quickly rebooted the switch... unfortunately the messages still appear.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Martin

Hello Martin,
This message is from the switch SSH server and indicates refreshed session creds.
Seen when an ssh client is connected for 60+ minutes and each hour thereafter because the server forces an exchange.
