configure ssh2 secure-mode

Add the following command to the ExtremeXOS 16.2 Command Reference Guide

configure ssh2 secure-mode [on | off]

Description

This command (secure-mode on) disables the weak ciphers and macs in SSH server and client.

Syntax Description


on	Enable all supported algorithms.
off	Enable only compliance algorithms.

Default

Off.

Usage Guidelines

After enabling secure-mode:

For communication, SSH server uses a new secure-mode list made each for ciphers and macs.
For SSH client, EPM is notified to change the bit dedicated to SSH secure-mode, which hides the weak ciphers and macs from SSH client CLI commands.
