Keypair generation process begin. Please wait…
And then configure SSH to be allowed from the inside interface:
fw01/act(config)# ssh (inser your ip) (insert your netmask) outside

fw01/act(config)# username leonardo password mypassword privilege 15

fw01/act(config)# aaa authentication ssh console LOCAL
