I have a question

  1. What type of encryption is used for user Passwd in the base_user.conf file?
  2. And, what version of SSH is currently available on the device? Or are there other resources?
  3. Please let us know when to use NATIVE SSL stack or COMPAT SSL stack. Easy to understand
  4. How do I check the SSH connection version of my current device?
  5. Also, what encryption algorithm does our device SSH communicate with?

    cat /config/ssh/ssh_config
    or 
    ssh -v host
    from bash on F5 can provide the SSH version information.

    See K13187 for information on COMPAT and NATIVE SSL. F5 recommends NATIVE over COMPAT.
