Prolog information
  • The Branch Gateway generates 2048 bits RSA keys or 256/384/512 bits ECDSA keys
  • The key fingerprint uses a SHA256 hash
  • The gateway supports the following key exchange algorithms:
    • diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256
    • diffie-hellman-group14-sha1
    • diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1
  • The gateway supports encryption using the following ciphers:
    • aes256-ctr
    • aes128-ctr
    • aes256-cbc
  • The gateway supports the following message authentication codes (MAC):
    • hmac-sha2-512
    • hmac-sha2-256
    • hmac-sha1
    • hmac-sha1-96
  • Key exchange algorithms, ciphers, and MAC are configurable using the following CLI command: ssh-server-configuration
