ssh key generation

RouterOS General
1

Hello,

I am using MT with OS 2.9.19 and trying to connect via ssh to APs based on busybox (dropbear).

At MT console I get the message

“Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0
no hostkey alg”

Could not find info how to generate ssh keys in MT although I found the directory in MT (user/ssh) where that is supposed to work.

Thanks for any hints.

Thanks for the tip, Andrew. I’ve seen that link but it’s somehow different from my problem.

MT does not provide the automatic generation algorithm neither the AP box.

MT works with a DSA key (has to be generated outside) and the AP with dropbear with just RSA. (They are incompatible, right?)

I tried to send private and public key from unix to MT and then, the public to the AP. But didn’t work.

Is there any documentation you are aware of for the ssh in MT (besides the refmanual and the link you sent)?

I doubt that this can be made to work. SSH keys in MT are provided just for logging onto the local box, not for making connections from MT to other boxes.

Andrew
