I have some telco equipment (E1/SS7) based on custom Linux distro built by a vendor:

$ ssh -oHostKeyAlgorithms=-ssh-rsa user@host
Unable to negotiate with X.X.X.X port 22: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-rsa

I've already asked the vendor for possible upgrade and was told that no upgrade will be available.

Will I be able to use ssh_config and following command to re-enable the feature after planned import?

HostKeyAlgorithms ssh-rsa
