You can define the default SSH protocol settings that are used by NetMRI. To configure SSH settings for the appliance, complete the following:

1. Go to the **Settings** icon > **General** **Settings** > **Security** page and click the **SSH** **Settings** tab.
2. Configure settings to be used when NetMRI connects to network devices for configuration collection or Configuration Command Script execution (you must enable at least one protocol).
  - Enable or disable **SSH** **v1** **Client** **Status**. If enabled, select an **SSH** **v1** **Client** **Cipher**.
  - Enable or disable **SSH****v 2 ****Client ****Status**. If enabled, click, CTRL+click or SHIFT+click to select **SSH ****v2 ****Client ****Ciphers**.
3. Configure settings to be used by NetMRI when accepting connections to the Admin Shell (you must enable at least one protocol).
  - Enable or disable **SSH** **v1** **Server** **Status**.
  - Enable or disable **SSH ****v2 ****Server ****Status**. If enabled, click, CTRL+click or SHIFT+click to select **SSH ****v2 ****Server ****Ciphers**.
4. Click **Update**.

Subsequent attempts to access the NetMRI administrative shell must comply with the new settings.
