Note, the ICX uses really old key exchange method 'diffie-hellman-group1-sha1'

debug1: kex: algorithm: diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
debug1: kex: host key algorithm: ssh-rsa
# or

debug1: kex: server->client cipher: aes128-ctr MAC: hmac-sha1 compression: none
debug1: kex: client->server cipher: aes128-ctr MAC: hmac-sha1 compression: none

To allow diffie-hellman-group1-sha1, edit either .ssh/config(to host) or /etc/ssh/ssh_config and add the following:

# ICX SSH
KexAlgorithms +diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
HostKeyAlgorithms +ssh-dss,ssh-rsa
PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-dss,ssh-rsa

NOTE: If you want to have the switch connect in reverse to do firmware updates, make sure to add the same to /etc/ssh/sshd_config

# Allow Legacy ICX switches to connect
KexAlgorithms +diffie-hellman-group1-sha1
HostKeyAlgorithms +ssh-dss,ssh-rsa

## PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-dss,ssh-rsa # icx doesn't have a private key option - sadness

Public Keys

Note: The public key file may contain up to 16 DSA or RSA key pairs.
Note: Each key in the public key must be in exactly this format (remove the ssh-rsa prefix, the 'Comment' line is optional): ^[4]
Note: Use a 2048 bit key (ssh-keygen -b 2048). The larger key will generate connect issues for 6450s (probably 7150s too). (no key from blob. pkalg ssh-rsa: invalid format) ^[5]

Copy the combined key file (up to 16 keys) to tftp server, and have the ICX pull and override keyfile with:

Neighbour Detection

Neighbour Detection ^[6]

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) - Vendor agnostic link layer protocol to advertise device capabilities and directly connected neighbours on the network.

lldp run
show lldp neighbors

Foundry Discovery Protocol (FDP) - Foundry/Brocade specific link layer protocol to advertise device capabilities and directly connected neighbours on the network.

fdp run
show fdp neighbors

Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) - Cisco specific link layer protocol to advertise device capabilities and directly connected neighbours on the network.

cdp run
show cdp neighbors

Require Login:

aaa authentication web-server default local
aaa authentication login default local

Configure seperate enable privilege passwords:

enable super-user-password [PASSWORD]
enable port-config-password [PASSWORD]
enable read-only-password [PASSWORD]

no enable super-user-password

Enter enable mode:

Show who logged in as:

sh who

Privilege Levels

3 privileged levels:

enable super-user-password [PASSWORD]] - Super-user level password
enable port-config-password [PASSWORD]] - Port level configuration password
enable read-only-password [PASSWORD]] - Read-only level password

Super User level - Allows complete read-and-write access to the system. This is generally for system administrators and is the only management privilege level that allows you to configure passwords.
Port Configuration level - Allows read-and-write access for specific ports but not for global (system-wide) parameters.
Read-only level - Allows access to the Privileged EXEC mode and User EXEC mode of the CLI but only with read access.
