The icons in the Session Manager and Connect dialog now reflect the session’s protocol, making it easier to visually identify the session type prior to connecting. On all platforms, a new system color scheme uses a light or dark session background depending on the system's display setting. On Windows, a new "System" display theme uses light or dark colors for the application window to match the system app mode setting. From there you simply add the key to ip ssh pubkey-chain and connect like above.W Win M Mac L Linux Dynamic color settings W M L If you open SecureCRT and go Tools -> Create Public Key and run through the wizard it will create a public key for you to use. Last but not least we also use our favorite SSH client on Windows to do the same thing and my favorite SSH client happens to be SecureCRT. You can use specify the host uses a lower DH with the -o switch. ![]() Then your Linux host is having problems negotiating with the router to see what DH group to use since the Linux currently supports higher encryption at the moment. *Jan 18 04:28:08.167: %SSH-3-DH_RANGE_FAIL: Client DH key range mismatch with maximum configured DH key on server One caveat is that if the SSH fails and you get a log message on your router that looks like this: The catch is that IOS has a character input limit of 256 characters so you’ll need to paste the key a few pieces at a time (it can be multiple lines) Cisco-R01(config)#ip ssh pubkey-chainĬisco-R01(conf-ssh-pubkey)#username the-packet-throwerĬisco-R01(conf-ssh-pubkey-user)#key-stringĬisco-R01(conf-ssh-pubkey-data)#$2EAAAADAQABAAABAQD12ova0R9sMotadxOtlaguKnNozhNTABX8lXRtwfDufmZt3HZk5Zk3K8BFSg6H3dcW/元qShfTMge7KgiBxWiMh/E9JdGPAp7H6rzX4bFbZ9ESnWGafcRZM3ENDiZC5SAzyc/9rfpK7zupp/Ĭisco-R01(conf-ssh-pubkey-data)#$u8KEcZe2QV+2bG1eimSzOLgi9wjQClfOmI+JpkOY+xUMj9ZbCTtYJ3/1KOMHRK5lfKajK6ulJZYlxN+qbOFH圓PUUeTHfTUfhUFED8nEiz6mJGaxsFE0ySn021ahPoh you should be able to connect directly to the Cisco device from the Linux host! Instead you type ip ssh pubkey-chain to enter the public key info for our Linux host, specify the username your connecting as and finally paste the contents of the id_rsa.pub file. ssh/authorized_keys file but…IOS doesn’t work exactly the same way. In the Linux world normally you would run the ssh-copy-id command to automatically copy your id_rsa.pub to the remote system’s. Cisco-R01(config)#username the-packet-thrower secret 5 $1$oUIV$p3rmC/HYhQVKx1I7LSuC87 This will actually work without adding the username to the router but you may with to do so in case something goes wrong. % Generating 2048 bit RSA keys, keys will be non-exportable.

Have a look at the id_rsa.pub file, we will need to add this to the Cisco router in a little bit so keep it handy. ssh folder in their home directory there should be some rsa files if there wasn’t any before. Your public key has been saved in /home/the-packet-thrower/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.ĥ4:64:5e:f8:ab:26:ef:be:7f:3c:ba:49:df:51:f6:8b key's randomart image is: Your identification has been saved in /home/the-packet-thrower/.ssh/id_rsa. ~]$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048Įnter file in which to save the key (/home/the-packet-thrower/.ssh/id_rsa):Ĭreated directory '/home/the-packet-thrower/.ssh'.Įnter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Log onto the Linux box using the username you want to connect to the router with and run the ssh-keygen command, I included some extra switches to force it to be a 2048 bit key but that is default on Centos 7 anyway. I’ll be using Centos 7 for this but the steps are pretty much the same across the board. In the Linux world it is possible to SSH to a trusted server by using public key authentication rather than by using the standard username/password and as it happens Cisco IOS devices also allow this neat trick.įirst lets look at how to get prep a Linux host to connect to a router. How to log into a Cisco router without using a password is a question as old as time or at least it is something I thought might make a neat topic! ![]()
