Enabling the SSH server to be compatible with SSH1 client
Setting the server key pair update interval, applicable to users using SSH1 client
Setting the SSH user authentication timeout period
Setting the maximum number of SSH authentication attempts
Setting the above parameters can help avoid malicious guess at and cracking of the keys and
usernames, securing your SSH connections.
Follow these steps to set the SSH management parameters:
To do...
Enter system view
Enable the SSH server to work
with SSH1 clients
Set the RSA server key pair
update interval
Set the SSH user
authentication timeout period
Set the maximum number of
SSH authentication attempts
Authentication will fail if the number of authentication attempts (including both publickey and password
authentication) exceeds that specified in the ssh server authentication-retries command.
Configuring the Device as an SSH Client
