An ESXi 5.x host displays a warning icon in the vSphere console and its summary page lists a
configuration issue “SSH for the host has been enabled.” What are two ways to clear this
warning? (Choose two.)
A.
Using the Security Profile pane of the Configuration tab in the vSphere Client
B.
Using the Direct Console User Interface (DCUI)
C.
Using the Advanced Settings pane of the Configuration tab in the vSphere Client
D.
Using the Networking pane of the Configuration tab in the vSphere Client
The correct answer is B and C.
A – using the security profile pane is how to ENABLE SSH, but does not allow you to clear the warning.

To enable these warnings using esxcli:

I think a and C.
