SSH Authentication Mode and Algorithm Settings
The SSH Algorithm window allows the
configuration of the desired types of SSH
algorithms used for authentication
encryption. There are four categories of
algorithms listed and specific algorithms of
each may be enabled or disabled by using
their corresponding pull-down menus. All
algorithms are enabled by default.
To view this window, click Security >
SSH > SSH Authentication Mode and
Algorithm Settings, as shown.
Figure 7- 68. SSH Authenticate Mode and Algorithm Settings window
The following algorithms may be set:
Parameter Description
SSH Authentication Mode and Algorithm Settings
Password This parameter may be enabled if the administrator wishes to use a locally configured
password for authentication on the Switch. The default is Enabled.
Public Key This parameter may be enabled if the administrator wishes to use a public key configuration
set on a SSH server, for authentication on the Switch. The default is Enabled.
Host-based This parameter may be enabled if the administrator wishes to use a host computer for
authentication. This parameter is intended for Linux users requiring SSH authentication
techniques and the host computer is running the Linux operating system with a SSH
program previously installed. The default is Enabled.
Encryption Algorithm
3DES-CBC Use the pull-down to enable or disable the Triple Data Encryption Standard encryption
algorithm with Cipher Block Chaining. The default is Enabled.
Blow-fish CBC Use the pull-down to enable or disable the Blowfish encryption algorithm with Cipher Block
Chaining. The default is Enabled.
AES128-CBC Use the pull-down to enable or disable the Advanced Encryption Standard AES128
