SSH2 Supported Features

SSH2 (Secure Shell version 2 protocol) provides an SSH server and an SSH client. The SSH server allows secure remote access management functions on a RUCKUS device.

RUCKUS SSH2 support includes the following:

  • Key exchange methods are diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 and diffie-hellman-group1-sha1. The diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 method is non-configurable and will be given priority. Both key exchange methods are available by default. The diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 method is considered a weaker method and can be removed. Refer to Set Optional Parameters.
  • The supported public key algorithms are ssh-dss and ssh-rsa.
  • Encryption is provided with 3des-cbc, aes128-cbc, aes192-cbc, aes256-cbc, aes128-ctr, aes192-ctr, aes256-ctr. AES encryption has been adopted by the U.S. Government as an encryption standard.
  • Data integrity is ensured with hmac-sha1.
  • Supported authentication methods are password, interactive, and key authentication.
  • Five simultaneous inbound SSH connections are supported.
  • Five simultaneous outbound SSH connections are supported.
