SSH Reference Manual

• hmac-sha1: HMAC-SHA1 (digest length=key length=20 bytes=160 bits)
• hmac-md5: HMAC-MD5 (digest length=key length=16 bytes=128 bits)
• hmac-sha1-96: first 96 bits of HMAC-SHA1 (digest length=12 bytes=96 bits, key length=20 bytes=160 bits)
• hmac-md5-96: first 96 bits of HMAC-MD5 (digest length=12 bytes=96 bits, key length=16 bytes=128 bits)
If this option is not specified, the client will negotiate a cipher from list configured for the SSH2 server using the MACS
parameter.
-p port
The port to connect to on the remote host.
-C
Requests compression of all data (including stdin, stdout, stderr, and data for forwarded connections). The compression
algorithm is the same used by gzip. Compression is desirable on slow connections, but will only slow down things on
fast networks.
-o option
Set a configuration option for the SSH client
The following options are supported:
• BINDADDRESS=address
The local address used for outgoing connections. Useful if the SSH2 process is configured with the unspecified
address (0.0.0.0 or 0::0) for parameter INTERFACEOUT or multiple IP addresses are configured in
INTERFACEOUT, the TCP/IP process is configured with more than one subnet and a specific local address
needs to be used (e.g. due to firewall configuration restrictions).
• IDENTITY=keyname
Use this option to select a specific KEY for authentication to the remote system. By default all KEYs that you
have generated using the SSHCOM GENERATE KEY command will be presented to the remote host for
publickey authentication. However, some servers will deny authentication after a maximum number of
inacceptable keys are presented, which can create a problem if you have many keys. To overcome this problem,
use the IDENTITY option to present only the key that has been advertised as authorized key to the target server.
• PORT=port
The port to connect to on the remote host. This option has the same effect as the –p command line option.
• COMPRESSION=TRUE|FALSE
Specify weather data compression should be enabled on the SSH session. This option has the same effect as the
–C command line option.
• CIPHERS=ciphers
Specify a comma-separated list of ciphers for encrypting the session. This option has the same effect as the –c
command line option.
• MACS=macs
Specify a comma-separated list of MAC algorithms. This option has the same effect as the –m command line
option.
• USER=user
Specify the user to log in as on the remote machine. This option has the same effect as the –l command line
option or the user runtime parameter.
• AllowedAuthentications=methods
