Secure Shell
This chapter describes Secure Shell (SSH) commands.
SSH is a cryptographic protocol for secure data communication, remote login, remote command execution, and other secure network services between two networked computers.
Note: In OcNOS, the default Linux terminal type is "export TERM=xterm"
Note: The commands below are supported only on the “management” VRF.
This chapter contains these commands:
clear ssh host-key
Use these commands to remove SSH server host key.
Command syntax
clear ssh host-key ((dsa|rsa|ecdsa|ed25519)|) (vrf (NAME|management)|)
Parameters
dsa
dsa keys
rsa
rsa keys
ecdsa
ecdsa keys
ed25519
ed25519 keys
management
Management VRF
NAME
Custom VRF
Default
None
Command Mode
Privilege exec mode
Applicability
This command was introduced in OcNOS version 5.0. Added parameter NAME in OcNOS version 6.5.3.
Examples
OcNOS#clear ssh host-key vrf management
OcNOS#
OcNOS#clear ssh host-key rsa
OcNOS#
clear ssh hosts
Use this command to clear the known_hosts file.
This command clears all trusted relationships established with SSH servers during previous connections. When a client downloads a file from an external server the first time, the client stores the server keys in the known_hosts file. After that, other connections to the same server will use the server keys stored in the known_hosts file. In other words, a trusted relationship is created when a client accepts the server keys the first time.
An example of when you need to clear a trusted relationship is when SSH server keys are changed.
Command Syntax
clear ssh hosts

None
Command Mode
Exec mode

This command was introduced before OcNOS version 1.3.

#configure terminal
(config)#ssh server port 1720
ssh server session-limit
Use this command to limit number of SSH sessions. Only 40 sessions allowed including Telnet and SSH.
Use no form of this command to set to default value.
Note: Few Terminal application (Ex: Mobaxterm) where user run SSH Client has limits to use this SSH session limit option.
ssh server session-limit <1-40> (vrf (NAME|management)|)
no ssh server session-limit (vrf (NAME|management)|)
Parameters
<1-40>
Number of sessions
management
Virtual Routing and Forwarding name
NAME
Custom VRF
Default
By default, 40 sessions are allowed.
Command Mode
Configure mode
Applicability
This command was introduced in OcNOS version 4.2. Added parameter NAME in OcNOS version 6.5.3.
Examples
#configure terminal
(config)#ssh server session-limit 4 vrf management
(config)#ssh server session-limit 6 vrf NAME

username keypair
Use this command to generate the key for users.
Command Syntax
username USERNAME keypair rsa
username USERNAME keypair dsa
username USERNAME keypair rsa length <1024-4096>
username USERNAME keypair rsa length <1024-4096> force
username USERNAME keypair rsa force
username USERNAME keypair dsa force
Parameters
USERNAME
User identifier
rsa
Rivest, Shamir, and Adelman (RSA) public-key cryptography SSH server key
dsa
Digital System Algorithm (DSA) SSH key
<1024-4096>
Number of bits to use when creating the SSH server key; this parameter is only valid for RSA keys (DSA keys have a default length of 1024)
force
Forces the replacement of an SSH key
Default
DSA keys have a default value of 1024.
RSA keys have a minimum key length of 1024 bits and the default length is 4096.
By default the system has RSA/DSA public/private key pair placed in /etc/ssh/. The force option is used if the user wants to regenerate the ssh rsa keys. The same thing applies for dsa also.
Command Mode
Execute mode
Applicability
This command was introduced before OcNOS version 1.3.
Examples
#configure terminal
(config)#username fred keypair rsa
