Secure Shell Version 1 Support
This feature module describes the Secure Shell server feature. It includes information on the benefits of the new feature, supported platforms, related documents, and so forth.
This document includes the following sections:

Feature Overview
Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol that provides a secure, remote connection to a router. There are currently two versions of SSH available, SSH Version 1 and SSH Version 2. Only SSH Version 1 is implemented in Cisco IOS.
The SSH server feature enables a SSH client to make a secure, encrypted connection to a Cisco router. This connection provides functionality that is similar to an inbound Telnet connection. The SSH server in Cisco IOS will work with publicly and commercially available SSH clients.
Note
Benefits
Additional Security
Before SSH, security was limited to Telnet security. SSH allows strong encryption to be used with Cisco IOS authentication.
Restrictions
SSH has the following restrictions:
•
•
•
•
CautionCisco IOS images with strong encryption (including, but not limited to, 56-bit data encryption feature sets) are subject to United States government export controls, and have a limited distribution. Images to be installed outside the United States require an export license. Customer orders might be denied or subject to delay due to United States government regulations. Contact your sales representative or distributor for more information, or send e-mail to export@cisco.com.

Configuration Tasks
See the following sections for SSH configuration tasks. Each task in the list indicates if it is optional or required:
•
•
•
Configuring SSH Server
To enable and configure a Cisco router for SSH, perform the following tasks in global configuration mode:
•
•
•
Verifying SSH
To verify that the SSH server is enabled, enter show ip ssh from the EXEC prompt. If SSH server is not enabled, the command will generate an error message.
Troubleshooting Tips
•
•
— "No hostname specified"You must configure a host name for the router using the hostname global configuration command. For more information, see " Configuration Tasks."
— "No domain specified"You must configure a host domain for the router using the ip domain-name global configuration command. For more information, see " Configuration Tasks."

This section documents new commands. All other commands used with this feature are documented in the Cisco IOS Release 12.0 command reference publications.
•
In Cisco IOS Release 12.0(1)T or later, you can search and filter the output for show and more commands. This functionality is useful when you need to sort through large amounts of output, or if you want to exclude output that you do not need to see.
To use this functionality, enter a show or more command followed by the "pipe" character (|), one of the keywords begin, include, or exclude, and an expression that you want to search or filter on:
command | {begin | include | exclude} regular-expression
Following is an example of the show atm vc command in which you want the command output to begin with the first line where the expression "PeakRate" appears:
show atm vc | begin PeakRate
For more information on the search and filter functionality, refer to the Cisco IOS Release 12.0(1)T feature module titled CLI String Search.
ip ssh
To configure SSH control parameters on your router, use the ip ssh global configuration command. Use the no form of this command to restore the default value.
[no] ip ssh {[time-out seconds]} | [authentication-retries integer]}
Syntax Description
Defaults
120 seconds for the timeout timer.
3 authentication-retries.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Before you configure SSH on your router, you must enable the SSH server using the crypto key generate rsa command.
Examples
The following examples configure SSH control parameters on your router:
Router(config)# ip ssh time-outRouter(config)# ip ssh authentication-retires 3show ip ssh
To display your router's SSH connections, use the show ip ssh privileged EXEC command.
show ip ssh
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Defaults
No default behavior or values.
Command Modes
Privileged EXEC
Command History
Usage Guidelines
You must enable the SSH server before using this command. If the SSH server is not enabled, this command will generate an error message.
Examples
The following is sample output from the show ip ssh command. The number of connections displayed is the same as the number of VTYs used. For example, if "0" connections are displayed, "0" VTYs are defined. By default, there are 5 VTYs defined for 5 possible terminal sessions:
Router# show ip sshConnection Version Encryption State Username0 1.5 3DES 4 guestdisconnect ssh
To terminate a SSH connection on your router, use the disconnect ssh privileged EXEC command.
disconnect ssh [vty] session-id
Syntax Description
vty
(Optional) Virtual terminal for remote console access.
session-id
The session-id is the number of connections displayed in the show ip ssh command output.
Defaults
No default behavior or values.
Command Modes
Privileged EXEC
Command History
Usage Guidelines
•
•
Examples
The following example terminates SSH connection number 1:
Router# disconnect ssh 1Related Commands
clear line vty n
Returns a terminal line to idle state using the privileged EXEC command.
Debug Commands
This section documents the new debug command related to the SSH server.
debug ip ssh
To display debug messages for SSH, use the debug ip ssh EXEC command. Use the no form of the command to disable debugging output.
[no] debug ip ssh
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Defaults
Debugging for SSH is not enabled.
Command History
Usage Guidelines
Use the debug ssh command to ensure normal operation of the SSH server.

AAA—authentication, authorization, and accounting. A framework of security services that provide the method for identifying users (authentication), for remote access control (authorization), and for collecting and sending security server information used for billing, auditing, and reporting (accounting).

IP Security Protocol—See IPSec.
IPSec—IP Security Protocol. A framework of open standards that provides data confidentiality, data integrity, and data authentication between participating peers. IPSec provides these security services at the IP layer. IPSec uses IKE to handle negotiation of protocols and algorithms based on local policy and to generate the encryption and authentication keys to be used by IPSec. IPSec can be used to protect one or more data flows between a pair of hosts, between a pair of security gateways, or between a security gateway and a host.

SSH—Secure Shell Protocol. A protocol that provides a secure remote connection to a router through a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) application.
TACACS+—Terminal Access Controller Access Control System plus. A security protocol that provides detailed accounting information and flexible administrative control over authentication and authorization processes. TACACS+ is facilitated through authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) and can be enabled only through AAA commands.
