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 9-81 SSH Authentication Method and Algorithm Settings window
The fields that can be configured for SSH Authentication Mode are described below:
Parameter
Password
Public Key
Host-based
Click the Apply button to accept the changes made.
The fields that can be configured for the Encryption Algorithm are described below:
Parameter
3DES-CBC
AES128-CBC
AES192-CBC
AES256-CBC
Cast128-CBC
Description
This may be enabled or disabled to choose if the administrator wishes to use a
locally configured password for authentication on the Switch. This parameter is
enabled by default.
This may be enabled or disabled to choose if the administrator wishes to use a
public key configuration set on a SSH server, for authentication. This parameter is
enabled by default.
This may be enabled or disabled to choose 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. This parameter is enabled by
default.
Description
Use the check box to enable or disable the Triple Data Encryption Standard
encryption algorithm with Cipher Block Chaining. The default is enabled.
Use the check box to enable or disable the Advanced Encryption Standard AES128
encryption algorithm with Cipher Block Chaining. The default is enabled.
Use the check box to enable or disable the Advanced Encryption Standard AES192
encryption algorithm with Cipher Block Chaining. The default is enabled.
Use the check box to enable or disable the Advanced Encryption Standard AES-256
encryption algorithm with Cipher Block Chaining. The default is enabled.
Use the check box to enable or disable the Cast128 encryption algorithm with
Cipher Block Chaining. The default is enabled.
