Parameters
server: Specifies a server by its IPv4 address or host name, a case-insensitive string of 1 to 253
characters.
port-number: Specifies the port number of the server, in the range of 1 to 65535. The default is 22.
vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies the MPLS L3VPN instance to which the server belongs, where
vpn-instance-name is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters.
identity-key: Specifies a public key algorithm for the client, either dsa or rsa. The default is dsa. If the
server uses publickey authentication, this keyword must be specified.
• dsa: Specifies the public key algorithm dsa.
• rsa: Specifies the public key algorithm rsa.
prefer-compress: Specifies the preferred compression algorithm between the server and the client. By
default, compression is not supported.
zlib: Specifies the compression algorithm zlib.
prefer-ctos-cipher: Specifies the preferred client-to-server encryption algorithm. The default is aes128.
Algorithms des, 3des, aes128, and aes256 are arranged in ascending order in the aspects of security
strength and calculation time.
• 3des: Specifies the encryption algorithm 3des-cbc.
• aes128: Specifies the encryption algorithm aes128-cbc.
• aes256: Specifies the encryption algorithm aes256-cbc.
• des: Specifies the encryption algorithm des-cbc.
prefer-ctos-hmac: Specifies the preferred client-to-server HMAC algorithm. The default is sha1.
Algorithm sha1 features stronger security but costs more time in calculation than md5.
• md5: Specifies the HMAC algorithm hmac-md5.
• md5-96: Specifies the HMAC algorithm hmac-md5-96.
• sha1: S
pecifies the HMAC algorithm hmac-sha1.
• sha1-96: Specifies the HMAC algorithm hmac-sha1-96.
prefer-kex: Specifies the preferred key exchange algorithm. The default is dh-group-exchange in
non-FIPS mode and dh-group14 in FIPS mode. Algorithm dh-group14 features stronger security but costs
more time in calculation than dh-group1.
• dh-group-exchange: Specifies the key exchange algorithm diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1.
• dh-group1: Specifies the key exchange algorithm diffie-hellman-group1-sha1.
• dh-group14: Specifies the key exchange algorithm diffie-hellman-group14-sha1.
prefer-stoc-cipher: Specifies the preferred server-to-client encryption algorithm. The default is aes128.
prefer-stoc-hmac: Specifies the preferred server-to-client HMAC algorithm. The default is sha1.
dscp dscp-value: Specifies the DSCP value in the IPv4 SFTP packets, in the range of 0 to 63. The default
value is 48. The DSCP value determines the transmission priority of the packet.
publickey keyname: Specifies the host public key of the sever, which is used to authenticate the server.
The keyname argument is a case-insensitive string of 1 to 64 characters.
source: Specifies a source IP address or source interface for the SFTP packets. By default, the SFTP
packets use the primary IP address of the output interface specified in the routing entry as the source IP
address. For successful SFTP connections, use one of the following methods:
