• SCP/SFTP/SSH URI Format
If you are using redundant management modules, you can synchronize the DSA host key pair
between the active and standby modules by entering the sync-standby command at the Privileged
EXEC level of the CLI.
Tested SSHv2 clients
The following SSH clients have been tested with SSHv2:
• SSH Secure Shell 3.2.3
• Van Dyke SecureCRT 4.0 and 4.1
• F-Secure SSH Client 5.3 and 6.0
• PuTTY 0.54 and 0.56
• OpenSSH 3.5_p1 and 3.6.1p2
• Solaris Sun-SSH-1.0
Supported features
The SSH server allows secure remote access management functions on a device. SSH provides a
function that is similar to Telnet, but unlike Telnet, SSH provides a secure, encrypted connection.
SSHv2 support includes the following:
• The following encryption cipher algorithm are supported. They are listed in order of preference:
• aes256-cbc: AES in CBC mode with 256-bit key
• aes192-cbc: AES in CBC mode with 192-bit key
• aes128-cbc: AES in CBC mode with 128-bit key
• 3des-cbc: Triple-DES
• Key exchange methods, in the order of preference are:
• diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
• diffie-hellman-group14-sha1
• Public key algorithm is ssh-dss.
• Data integrity is ensured with hmac-sha1 algorithm.
• Supported authentication methods are Password and publickey.
• Compression is not supported.
• TCP/IP port forwarding, X11 forwarding, and secure file transfer are not supported.
• SSH version 1 is not supported.
• SCP supports AES encryption
Configuring SSH
Brocade’s implementation of SSH supports two kinds of user authentication:
