<algorithm | no algorithm> statements introduced in Release 12.2 of Junos OS.

Allow or disallow a host-key signature algorithm for the SSH host to use to authenticate another host.

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.

system—To view this statement in the configuration.

system-control—To add this statement to the configuration.
