NimbostratusAdd ssh-rsa to 17.1.1 host key algorithm
Good find.
Unfortunately, I do not think there is any alternative way. The only thing I can think of is possibly proxying the SSH client connection via a Jumphost server which supports the ssh-rsa host key algorithm.
You may want to create a Support Case with F5 to see if they are able to provide any further suggestions.

Hi,
Thank you for your support.
I tried editing the sshd_config file manually but still didn't work.
I found out a few more articles and turned out that F5 removed support of ssh-rsa even though I can still see BIG-IP with 17.1.1 using ssh-rsa through a command "sshd -T | grep -i hostkeyalgorithms"

I know it's tough but I'm asking if there is any other way to make it work besides updating the 3rd party software.
