Specifying algorithms for SSH2

Perform this task to specify the following types of algorithms that the SSH2 client and server use for algorithm negotiation during the Stelnet, SFTP, or SCP session establishment:

• Key exchange algorithms.

• Public key algorithms.

• Encryption algorithms.

• MAC algorithms.

If you specify algorithms, SSH2 uses only the specified algorithms for algorithm negotiation. The client uses the specified algorithms to initiate the negotiation, and the server uses the matching algorithms to negotiate with the client.

If multiple algorithms of the same type are specified, the algorithm specified earlier has a higher priority during negotiation. The specified SSH2 algorithms do not affect SSH1 sessions.
