vrf instance
(OPTIONAL) E-Series Only: Enter the keyword vrf then the VRF Instance name to open
an SSH connection to that instance.
ipv4 address
(OPTIONAL) Enter the IP address in dotted decimal format A.B.C.D.
ipv6-address
prefix-length
(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
Enable the “FIPS mode enable", this mode will support only v2 client.
"no fips mode enable"(disable) will support v1 & v2 client. This comment is applicable for
both ciphers & HMAC algorithms:
3des-cbc
aes128-cbc
aes192-cbc
aes256-cbc
aes128-ctr
aes192-ctr
aes256-ctr
-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):
"no fips mode enable"(disable) will support v1 & v2 client.
hmac-sha1: Force ssh to use hmac-sha1 HMAC algorithm.
hmac-sha1-96: Force ssh to use hmac-sha1-96 HMAC algorithm.
hmac-md5: Force ssh to use hmac-md5 HMAC algorithm.
hmac-md5-96: Force ssh to use hmac-md5-96 HMAC algorithm.
hmac-sha2-256 : Force ssh to use hmac-sha2-256 HMAC algorithm.
-p
port-number
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword -p then the port number. The range is from 1 to 65535.
The default is 22.
-v {1 | 2} (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword -v then the SSH version 1 or 2. The default is the
