Goal

SL8500 - How to display current version of SSH on library.

Solution

Steps to Follow
The SL8500 supports SSH V_2. The library also supports V_1.0 . The host can specify the connection protocol level. You can find out what version of SSH is on the library by a couple of methods:

1. From a UNIX host running a SSH client: type SSH �v [library address]. The library SSH protocol level will be displayed as the remote version.

Example UNIX output:

Debug1: remote protocol version 1.99, remote software version OpenSSH_4.2

("remote" indicates this is the library version)

The host adds this output:

enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0

(This is the host version used for the connection)

2. Using PuTTY from a PC: under logging, set capture SSH packet data and provide a filename. Then attempt to log into the library. The resulting log file will contain the SSH message.

Example PuTTY output below:

Event Log: Server version: SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_4.2

("server" indicates this is the library SSH version)

PuTTY provides also this message:

Event Log: We claim version: SSH-2.0-PuTTY-Release-0.56

(This is the SSH version used by PuTTY for the connection)

For either case you do not have to complete the log on to capture the data.
