Setting up M4100 switch to allow SSH access

I'm looking to understand what needs to be done to allow SSHing into the M4100 switch.

 

Although the doucmentation shows how to use each feature indivdiually for SSH management of keys, it doesn't really give any clues as to what you need to do in what order.

 

Right now I'm limited to telnet and cannot even turn on SSH Admin mode because it cannot find the keys.

I see that keys can be generated on the switch, but when I do that, it doesn't help.

 

Does someone have a simple step-by-step that can guide me on what I need to do to enable SSH with either passwords or certificate files?

 

I find the documentation is missing the guidance on what to do overall.

 

Thanks
