SSH and NAM Question -

[getwithrob]

I don't really understand this so I'm looking for some help here. How do you know or how can you check the version of SSH? I know you can check the SSH version RME runs or supports by looking at Server Config > About the Server > Applications and Versions. I'm assuming SSH must run NAM too. Am I correct or not? How can I check the version?

I just tried to ssh to a NAM running 3.4(1a)

It allowed me to connect to it via version 1 and version 2.

For version 2 I used the command:

ssh -2 -l root 14.32.6.29

For version 1 I used the command:

ssh -1 -l root 14.32.6.29

I am using:

OpenSSH_3.5p1 FreeBSD-20030924, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090704f

Here's my issue; I can add a NAM into inventory but RME won't backup the config. I have an open TAC case on this but I've been quiet busy doing other stuff so I haven't been applying any pressure. The last question I got by the TAC support guy was "what version of ssh is running?" He told me if I was running version 3 that it wouldn't work. I'm still not sure what he's asking for so that's why I posted this. I checked Applications and Versions and RME is running 2.2. I guess that's why he's telling me if it's running version 3 that it won't work. Do the devices run SSH or just the application? That's where I'm not clear.... From your message above, I'm thinking he wants the version on the application side.

2.2 is the version of Common Services

3.5 would be the version of RME, which does not support SSH version 2.

Best bet it to set up a packet trace between the server and the NAM to see what is happening (i.e. is RME able to login to the NAM?)
