Configuring SSH2

You can configure the device to use any combination of these authentication types. The SSH server and client negotiate which type to use.

To configure SSH2, follow these steps:

  1. Generate a host Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) or Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir and Leonard Adleman Algorithm (RSA), and private key pair for the device.

    See the section Enabling and disabling SSH by generating and deleting host keys.

  2. Configure DSA or RSA challenge-response authentication.

    See the section Configuring DSA or RSA challenge-response authentication.

  3. Set optional parameters.

    See the section Optional SSH parameters.
