Kompatibilität
  • Older Linux systems won’t support SHA2
  • PuTTY (Windows) does not support RIPE-MD160
  • Curve25519, AES-GCM and UMAC are only available upstream (OpenSSH 6.6p1)
  • DSA host keys have been removed on purpose, the DSS standard does not support for DSA keys stronger than 1024bit [5] which is far below current standards (see section #section:keylengths)
  • Legacy systems can use this configuration and simply omit unsupported ciphers, key exchange algorithms and MACs
References
  • Cisco SSH is a basic SSH reference for all routers and switches
  • Refer to the specific documentation of the device and IOS version that you are configuring
How to test

Connect a client with verbose logging enabled to the SSH server 

$ ssh -vvv myserver.com

and observe the key exchange in the output.

Cisco ASA

Tested with Versions
  • 9.1(3)
Settings
  • crypto key generate rsa modulus 2048
  • ssh version 2
  • ssh key-exchange group dh-group14-sha1


  • When the ASA is configured for SSH, by default both SSH versions 1 and 2 are allowed.
  • In addition to that, only a group1 DH-key-exchange is used.
  • This should be changed to allow only SSH version 2 and to use a key-exchange with group14.
  • The generated RSA key should be 2048 bit (the actual supported maximum).
  • A non-cryptographic best practice is to reconfigure the lines to only allow SSH-logins.

How to test

Connect a client with verbose logging enabled to the SSH server 

$ ssh -vvv myserver.com

and observe the key exchange in the output.

Cisco IOS

Tested Versions
Program Version OS/Distribution/Version Comment
15.0 IOS
15.1 IOS
15.2 IOS
Settings
crypto key generate rsa modulus 4096 label SSH-KEYS
ip ssh rsa keypair-name SSH-KEYS
ip ssh version 2
ip ssh dh min size 2048
line vty 0 15
transport input ssh
  • Same as with the ASA, also on IOS by default both SSH versions 1 and 2 are allowed and the DH-key-exchange only use a DH-group of 768 Bit.
  • In IOS, a dedicated Key-pair can be bound to SSH to reduce the usage of individual keys-pairs.
  • From IOS Version 15.0 onwards, 4096 Bit rsa keys are supported and should be used according to the paradigm "use longest supported key".
  • Also, do not forget to disable telnet vty access.
How to test

Connect a client with verbose logging enabled to the SSH server 

$ ssh -vvv switch.example.net

and observe the key exchange in the output.
