Dell Command Line Reference Guide for the S4048–ON System 9.14.2.6

ssh

Open an SSH connection specifying the hostname, username, port number, and version of the SSH client.

Syntax
ssh {hostname|ipv4 address|ipv6 address} [-c encryption cipher|-l username|-m HMAC alogorithm|-p port-number|-v 2]
Parameters
hostname
(OPTIONAL) Enter the IP address or the hostname of the remote device.
ipv4 address
(OPTIONAL) Enter the IP address in dotted decimal format A.B.C.D.
ipv6 addressprefix
(OPTIONAL) Enter the IPv6 address in the x:x:x:x::x format then the prefix length in the /x format. The range is from /0 to /128
NOTE The :: notation specifies successive hexadecimal fields of zeros.
-c encryption cipher
Enter the following encryption cipher to use. (For v2 clients only.)
  • 3des-cbc: Force ssh to use 3des-cbc encryption cipher.

FIPS mode is enabled or disabled:

  • aes256–ctr: Force ssh to use the aes256–ctr encryption cipher.
  • aes256–cbc: Force ssh to use the aes128–cbc encryption cipher.
  • aes192–ctr: Force ssh to use the aes128–cbc encryption cipher.
  • aes192–cbc: Force ssh to use the aes256–cbc encryption cipher.
  • aes128–ctr: Force ssh to use the aes256–cbc encryption cipher.
  • aes128–cbc: Force ssh to use the aes128–cbc encryption cipher.
  • 3des-cbc: Force ssh to use 3des-cbc encryption cipher.
-l username
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword —l then the user name used in this SSH session. The default is the user name of the user associated with the terminal.
-m HMAC algorithm
Enter one of the following HMAC algorithms to use. (For v2 clients only.):

Without the FIPS mode enabled:

  • hmac-shal-96: Force ssh to use the hmac-sha1–96 HMAC algorithm.
  • hmac-sha1: Force ssh to use the hmac-sha1 HMAC algorithm.
  • hmac-md5–96: Force ssh to use the hmac-md5–96 HMAC algorithm.
  • hmac-md5: Force ssh to use the hmac-md5 HMAC algorithm.

With the FIPS mode enabled:

  • hmac-sha2-256: Force ssh to use the hmac-sha2-256 HMAC algorithm.
  • hmac-shal-96: Force ssh to use the hmac-sha1–96 HMAC algorithm.
  • hmac-sha1: Force ssh to use the hmac-sha1 HMAC algorithm.
  • hmac-md5–96: Force ssh to use the hmac-md5–96 HMAC algorithm.
  • hmac-md5: Force ssh to use the hmac-md5 HMAC algorithm.
-p port-number
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword —p then the port number.

The range is 1 to 65535.

-v 2
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword —v then the SSH version 2.

The default: The version from the protocol negotiation.

NOTE If the FIPS mode is enabled, this option does not display in the output.
Defaults

Usage Information

Dell EMC Networking OS supports both inbound and outbound SSH sessions using IPv4 or IPv6 addressing. Inbound SSH supports accessing the system through the management interface as well as through a physical Layer 3 interface.

NOTE Some of the parameters in this command require licensing to access. For more information, contact your Dell EMC Networking representative.
