Description

 

 

 

SSH Version

 

The version of SSH to use when connecting to the router:

 

 

1 and 2—SSH version 1 and SSH version 2. This is the default.

 

 

1—SSH version 1 only.

 

 

2—SSH version 2 only.

 

 

 

Timeout

 

The amount of time the router should wait for the SSH client to respond

 

 

during the negotiation phase before disconnecting. The default value (and

 

 

the maximum) is 120 seconds.

 

 

Note After negotiation finishes and the EXEC session begins, the timeout

 

 

 

configured for the VTY line applies. See VTY Line Dialog

 

 

 

Box—Setup Tab, page K-132.

 

 

Authentication Retries

The number of times the router attempts to authenticate SSH clients. Valid

 

 

values range from 0 to 5. The default is 3.

 

 

 

Source Interface

 

The source address for all SSH packets sent to the SSH client.

 

 

If you do not define a value in this field, the address of the closest interface

 

 

to the destination (that is, the output interface through which SSH packets

 

 

are sent) is used.

 

 

Enter the name of an interface or interface role, or click Select to display an

 

 

Object Selectors, page F-593.

 

 

If the interface role you want is not listed, click the Create button in the

 

 

selector to display the Interface Role Dialog Box, page F-464. From here

 

 

you can define an interface role object.

 

 

 

RSA Key Pair

 

The name of the RSA key pair to use for SSH connections.

 

 

If you do not enter a value, the router uses the RSA key pair generated from

 

 

its hostname and domain name. This is the default.

 

 

Tip

Use the CLI command show crypto key mypubkey rsa to display

 

 

 

the names and values of each key pair configured on the device.

 

 

 

These are the valid names that can be entered in this field.
