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.

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
