Section 2.2.3 says:
SSH may not be supported on legacy equipment. In some cases, changing the host name of a device requires an SSH rekey event since the key is based on some combination of host name, Message Authentication Code (MAC) address, and time.
It should say:
SSH may not be supported on legacy equipment. In some cases, changing the host name of a device requires an SSH rekey event since the key is based on some combination of host name, Media Access Control (MAC) address, and time. (Or perhaps simply, and more generally, use "link layer address" in place of "Media Access Control (MAC) address".)
