Release Information
Statement introduced in Release 11.2 of Junos OS.
<algorithm | no algorithm> statements introduced in Release 12.2 of Junos OS.
Description
Allow or disallow a host-key signature algorithm for the SSH host to use to authenticate another host.
Options
- no-ssh-dss—Do not allow generation of a 1024-bit Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) host-key.
- no-ssh-ecdsa—Do not allow generation of an Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) host-key.
- no-ssh-rsa—Do not allow generation of an RSA host-key.
- ssh-ecdsa—Allow generation of an ECDSA host-key.
- ssh-dss—Allow generation of a 1024-bit
DSA host-key.
Note: DSA keys are not supported in FIPS, so the ssh-dss option is not available on systems operating in FIPS mode.
- ssh-rsa—Allow generation of an RSA host-key.
Required Privilege Level
system—To view this statement in the configuration.
system-control—To add this statement to the configuration.
