SSH bug in NMC2 running AOS/SUMX v7.0.4

Hi Schneider Electric Exchange Community,

On June 2nd, 2022, I discovered a bug in AOS / SUMX v7.0.4. ( released Jul 26 2021 ) running on AP9630 NMC2.

I'm posting here, as I don't know what's Schneider's formal way of submitting firmware bug reports.

When a 'Host Name' is set to a value that's 3 characters or less, when I try to SSH to the AP9630, my connection is immediately closed with this error message:

kex_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer
Connection reset by 192.168.blah.blah port 22

The 'Host Name' in question is the one in DNS Configuration, ie. in the web GUI:  Configuration / Network / DNS / Configuration.

Has anyone else seen this?   My work-around is to fake the 'Host Name' by adding the 4th character, so instead of 'Host Name' being 'blah', I made it 'blahh';  that immediately fixed the problem and SSH on the AP9630 started working again.
