    :options:

    .. osdx:opcmd::  cipher <id>

        Selects the cipher specification for encrypting the session.

        :arg id:
            Chose cipher.



    .. osdx:opcmd::  vrf <id>

        Set source address to a specific VRF

        :ref Reference: system vrf *
        :arg id:
            VRF name



    .. osdx:opcmd::  port <u32>

        Specify a port number to connect

        :arg u32:
            Port to connect



    .. osdx:opcmd::  verbose

        Verbose mode.



    .. osdx:opcmd::  force-ipv6

        Forces ssh to use IPv6 addresses only



    .. osdx:opcmd::  force-version-1

        Forces ssh to try protocol version 1 only



    .. osdx:opcmd::  escapechar <txt>

        Sets the escape character.

        :arg txt:
            Escape character.



    .. osdx:opcmd::  force-version-2

        Forces ssh to try protocol version 2 only



    .. osdx:opcmd::  force-ipv4

        Forces ssh to use IPv4 addresses only



    .. osdx:opcmd::  key-exchange <id>

        Specifies the available KEX (Key Exchange) algorithms

        :arg id:
            Specifies the available KEX (Key Exchange) algorithms



    .. osdx:opcmd::  force

        Force connection. Remove the key if exists in known_hosts file



    .. osdx:opcmd::  local-address <value>

        Use local IP address as the source address of the connection.

        :arg value:
            Local IP address



    .. osdx:opcmd::  private-key <file>

        Private key to use when logging in remotely

        :arg file:
            Private key to use when logging in remotely



    .. osdx:opcmd::  quiet

        Supress most of warning and diagnostic messages.



    .. osdx:opcmd::  option <value>

        Additional SSH options

        :arg value:
            Optional argument



    .. osdx:opcmd::  syslog

        Send log information using the syslog system module.



    .. osdx:opcmd::  mac <id>

        Specifies the MAC (Message Authentication Code) algorithm to use

        :arg id:
            Specifies the MAC (Message Authentication Code) algorithm to use

            The MAC algorithm is used for data integrity protection. The algorithms that contain
            "-etm" calculate the MAC after encryption (encrypt-then-mac).  These are considered safer and their
            use recommended.
            Notice that some cipher algorithms already offer authentication (the ones that are named
            like "...@openssh.com"). Those algorithms will make the SSH clients to ignore the MAC setting.
