You may run into situations on MAC/Linux where the weak ciphers are used and OpenSSH won't connect.
MAC/Linux users will be using OpenSSh which also supports SSH V2. You should set Putty to default to SSH V2:
#Cisco ios enable ssh windows
Most Windows users connect with Putty which supports SSH v2. Network device manufacturers (all of them I think) enabling SSH v1 by default really bothers me. I plan to do another blog on IOS-XE and Nexus in the future. Microsoft has set July 2020 to remove TLS 1.0/1.1 from IE, Edge Legacy, and Edge Chromium. Firefox had actually done it in May 2020 but so many US Government sites quit working (during the Covid19 Hysteria) that they rolled back. For the security of your network and to pass a penetration test you need to disable the weak ciphers, disable SSH v1 and disable TLS version 1.0 and 1.1.įirefox, Chrome and Microsoft all have committed to dropping support for TLS1.1. Looking for a solution to ssh to Cisco IOS.For backward compatibility, most companies still ship deprecated, weak SSH, and SSL ciphers.

#Cisco ios enable ssh upgrade
This workstation received an upgrade to 20.04 last evening. Had a Ubuntu 18.x control workstation with the ability to ssh to Cisco network devices.
