Hi Masood,

You will find this information under the release notes of 8.6 version.

Please find the link below:- http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/catos/8.x/system/release/notes/OL_4498.html

Using Secure Shell Encryption for Telnet sessions (support for SSH version 2)

Rate if this help.

Thanks

--- -------- ---------- ---------- --------------------- -----

1 * V2 AES256-CBC HMAC_SHA1 SSH_SESSION_OPEN PID number

Id Userid Host

1 * Username x.x.x.x

SSH server mode : V1 and V2

you see both modes : v1 and v2 is currently running!

Hi,

based on the pdf file, only 8.6(x) supports ssh v2 but here I have a switch software version 8.5(9) and it supports v1 and v2!?

then what was teh article saying?

it maybe that 8.6 and later don't support v1 at all as oppose to this 8.5(9) version that supports both v1 and v2!?

isn't it?

Catos release notes for 8.X code . Then just use the find function on your browser and search for SSH .

Use the feature navigator to choose:

Secure Shell Version 2 Server

The code available is:

8.3(1) to 8.7(2a) for CatOS

Requires: K9 or CVK9 Feature Set

Requires: 6500 Sup, Sup2, Sup32, Sup720

Secure Shell Version 2 Server ?

this means on any switch that i want to use ssh v2, I use this command? as long as I can see the mix mode for v1 and vb2 as I posted above.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Masood'
