Usage Guidelines
Use the ip ssh
stricthostkeycheck ask command to enhance the security of an SSH
connection. The command enables evaluation of the host key presented by the server
and ensures that the identity of the server aligns with the one previously accepted
by the user during the initial connection.
When the command is configured, the ICX device acting as SSH client prompts the user for confirmation if the client encounters a new or changed host key. This can be useful for verifying the authenticity of the server before connecting, especially in security environments.
