Authentication Preferences
The following four configuration options allocate preferences to the authentication methods
that should be used. As above, a value of 0 disables the particular authentication method, and
lower values indicated greater preference than higher values. For example, if MAC SHA1-96
was the preferred method for authentication, this option would be given the value 1 and the
other options given a value of 2 or greater. If all these parameters are set to the same value,
the router automatically uses them in the following order:
•SHA1,
• SHA1-96
•MD5
•MD5-96
MAC MD5
The preference level for MAC MD5.
MAC MD5-96
The preference level for MAC MD5-96.
MAC SHA1
The preference level for MAC SHA1.
MAC SHA1-96
The preference level for MAC SHA1-96.
Enable Debug
The router supports logging and output of debugging information for situations where there
are problems establishing a SSH connection. When enabled, this setting causes the router to
trace and output information that should be helpful in diagnosing and resolving the problem.
