SSH Algorithm

The SSH Algorithm window allows the
configuration of the desired types of
SSH algorithms used for authentication
encryption. There are three 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 open the following window,
click Security Management > Secure
Shell (SSH) > SSH Authentication
Mode and Algorithm Settings:
xStack DES-6500 Modular Layer 3 Chassis Ethernet Switch User Manual
Description
Use the pull-down menu to enable or disable SSH on the Switch. The default is Disabled.
Enter a value between 1 and 8 to set the number of users that may simultaneously access the
Switch. The default setting is 8.
Allows the user to set the connection timeout. The use may set a time between 120 and 600
seconds. The default setting is 120 seconds.
Allows the Administrator to set the maximum number of attempts that a user may try to log on
to the SSH Server utilizing the SSH authentication. After the maximum number of attempts has
been exceeded, the Switch will be disconnected and the user must reconnect to the Switch to
attempt another login. The number of maximum attempts may be set between 2 and 20. The
default setting is 2.
This field is used to set the time period that the Switch will change the security shell
encryptions by using the pull-down menu. The available options are Never, 10 min, 30 min,
and 60 min. The default setting is Never.
Enter the virtual port number to be used with this feature. The common port number for SSH is
22.
