The standard TCP port for +SSH is 22. The best known example application is for remote login to computer +systems by users. + +SSH provides a secure channel over an unsecured network in a client-server +architecture, connecting an SSH client application with an SSH server. Common +applications include remote command-line login and remote command execution, +but any network service can be secured with SSH. The protocol specification +distinguishes between two major versions, referred to as SSH-1 and SSH-2. + +The most visible application of the protocol is for access to shell accounts +on Unix-like operating systems, but it sees some limited use on Windows as +well. In 2015, Microsoft announced that they would include native support for +SSH in a future release. + +SSH was designed as a replacement for Telnet and for unsecured remote shell +protocols such as the Berkeley rlogin, rsh, and rexec protocols. +Those protocols send information, notably passwords, in plaintext, +rendering them susceptible to interception and disclosure using packet +analysis. The encryption used by SSH is intended to provide confidentiality +and integrity of data over an unsecured network, such as the Internet. + +Configuration +============= + +.. cfgcmd:: set service ssh port <port> + +Enabling SSH only requires you to specify the port ``<port>`` you want SSH to +listen on. By default, SSH runs on port 22. + +.. cfgcmd:: set service ssh listen-address <address> + +Specify IPv4/IPv6 listen address of SSH server. Multiple addresses can be +defined. + +.. cfgcmd:: set service ssh ciphers <cipher> + +Define allowed ciphers used for the SSH connection. A number of allowed ciphers +can be specified, use multiple occurrences to allow multiple ciphers. You can +choose from the following ciphers: ``3des-cbc``, ``aes128-cbc``, ``aes192-cbc``, +``aes256-cbc``, ``aes128-ctr``, ``aes192-ctr``, ``aes256-ctr``, ``arcfour128``, +``arcfour256``, ``arcfour``, ``blowfish-cbc``, ``cast128-cbc`` + +.. cfgcmd:: set service ssh disable-password-authentication + +Disable password based authentication. Login via SSH keys only. This hardens +security! + +.. cfgcmd:: set service ssh disable-host-validation + +Disable the host validation through reverse DNS lookups - can speedup login +time when reverse lookup is not possible. + +.. cfgcmd:: set service ssh macs <mac> + +Specifies the available :abbr:`MAC (Message Authentication Code)` algorithms. +The MAC algorithm is used in protocol version 2 for data integrity protection. +Multiple algorithms can be provided. Supported MACs: ``hmac-md5``, +``hmac-md5-96``, ``hmac-ripemd160``, ``hmac-sha1``, ``hmac-sha1-96``, +``hmac-sha2-256``, ``hmac-sha2-512``, ``umac-64@openssh.com``, +``umac-128@openssh.com``, ``hmac-md5-etm@openssh.com``, +``hmac-md5-96-etm@openssh.com``, ``hmac-ripemd160-etm@openssh.com``, +``hmac-sha1-etm@openssh.com``, ``hmac-sha1-96-etm@openssh.com``, +``hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com``, ``hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com``, +``umac-64-etm@openssh.com``, ``umac-128-etm@openssh.com`` + +.. note:: VyOS 1.1 supported login as user ``root``. This has been removed due + to tighter security in VyOS 1.2. + +.. cfgcmd:: set service ssh access-control <allow | deny> <group | user> <name> + +Add access-control directive to allow or deny users and groups. Directives are +processed in the following order of precedence: ``deny-users``, ``allow-users``, +``deny-groups`` and ``allow-groups``. + +.. cfgcmd:: set service ssh client-keepalive-interval <interval> + +Specify timeout interval for keepalive message in seconds. + +.. cfgcmd:: set service ssh key-exchange <kex> + +Specify allowed :abbr:`KEX (Key Exchange)` algorithms. +Supported algorithms: ``diffie-hellman-group1-sha1``, +``diffie-hellman-group14-sha1``, ``diffie-hellman-group14-sha256``, +``diffie-hellman-group16-sha512``, ``diffie-hellman-group18-sha512``, +``diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1``, +``diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256``, ``ecdh-sha2-nistp256``, +``ecdh-sha2-nistp384``, ``ecdh-sha2-nistp521``, ``curve25519-sha256`` and +``curve25519-sha256@libssh.org``. + +.. cfgcmd:: set service ssh loglevel <quiet | fatal | error | info | verbose> + +Set the ``sshd`` log level. The default is ``info``. + +.. cfgcmd:: set service ssh vrf <name> + +Specify name of the :abbr:`VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding)` instance. + +.. seealso:: SSH :ref:`ssh_key_based_authentication` |
