SSH Authentication Method and Algorithm Settings

Users can configure 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 ticking their
corresponding check boxes. All algorithms are enabled by default.
To view this window, click Security > SSH > SSH Authentication method and Algorithm Settings, as shown below:
Figure 8-70 SSH Settings window
Description
Use the radio buttons 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 user 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.
Here the user can enter the TCP Port Number used for SSH. The default value is 22.
