Secure Shell Debug Commands Cisco IOS XR Software

---

This chapter describes the Cisco IOS XR software Secure Shell (SSH) debug commands.

For high-level, conceptual information about using debug commands generally, see Using Debug Commands on Cisco IOS XR Software, Release 3.6.0.

debug ssh

To display Secure Shell (SSH) session information, use the debug ssh command in EXEC mode. To disable debugging output, use the no form of this command.

debug ssh {client | kex | server | sftp | traffic}

no debug ssh {client | kex | server | sftp | traffic}

Syntax Description
