With new OpenSSH Client 7.1: No "normal" SSH Login to EXOS possible

With new OpenSSH Client 7.1: No "normal" SSH Login to EXOS possible

Hello,

with the current OpenSSH Client 7.1 (released August 21, 2015) it is not possible any longer to login "directly" to an EXOS switch.

~ $ ssh admin@X
Unable to negotiate with X: no matching key exchange method found. Their offer: diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
According to http://www.openssh.com/legacy.html the workaround is:

~ $ ssh admin@X -oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 -oHostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss
[..]
Enter password for admin:

Are there any plans or already ways, that EXOS's SSH Implementation doesn't use weak/legacy algorithms?

Cheers
Jan

P.S.: Tested with EXOS up to:

21.1 has the SSH server upgrade, 16.2 should have it when it's released, afaik.

I'm not aware of any plan for it. You should reach out to your Extreme representative for such a request.

What about EXOS 15.6.X 15.7.X ? Or 15.3.[4-5].X ?
