Task

Command

Remarks

Establish a connection between the SSH client and the server, and specify the public key algorithm, preferred encryption algorithm, preferred HMAC algorithm and preferred key exchange algorithm.

  • For an IPv4 server:

    • In non-FIPS mode:ssh2 server [ port-number ] [ identity-key { dsa | ecdsa | rsa } | prefer-ctos-cipher { 3des | aes128 | des } | prefer-ctos-hmac { md5 | md5-96 | sha1 | sha1-96 } | prefer-kex { dh-group-exchange | dh-group1 | dh-group14 } | prefer-stoc-cipher { 3des | aes128 | des } | prefer-stoc-hmac { md5 | md5-96 | sha1 | sha1-96 } ] *

    • In FIPS mode:ssh2 server [ port-number ] [ identity-key { ecdsa | rsa } | prefer-ctos-cipher { aes128 | aes256 } | prefer-ctos-hmac { sha1 | sha1-96 } | prefer-kex dh-group14 | prefer-stoc-cipher { aes128 | aes256 } | prefer-stoc-hmac { sha1 | sha1-96 } ] *

  • For an IPv6 server:

    • In non-FIPS mode:ssh2 ipv6 server [ port-number ] [ identity-key { dsa | ecdsa | rsa } | prefer-ctos-cipher { 3des | aes128 | des } | prefer-ctos-hmac { md5 | md5-96 | sha1 | sha1-96 } | prefer-kex { dh-group-exchange | dh-group1 | dh-group14 } | prefer-stoc-cipher { 3des | aes128 | des } | prefer-stoc-hmac { md5 | md5-96 | sha1 | sha1-96 } ] *

    • In FIPS mode:ssh2 ipv6 server [ port-number ] [ identity-key { ecdsa | rsa } | prefer-ctos-cipher { aes128 | aes256 } | prefer-ctos-hmac { sha1 | sha1-96 } | prefer-kex dh-group14 | prefer-stoc-cipher { aes128 | aes256 } | prefer-stoc-hmac { sha1 | sha1-96 } ] *
