ssh: no kex alg

I'm not able to ssh into my firewall from any modern openssl client.  

 

justin@netconf:~/checkpoint-backups$ ssh fwadmin@fw
Unable to negotiate with 10.100.253.192 port 22: no matching key exchange method found. Their offer: diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1,diffie-hellman-group14-sha1

 

I've tried to manually add the kex strings to sshd_config but it says bad configuration when I try to restart sshd.

 

Starting sshd: /etc/ssh/sshd_config: line 12: Bad configuration option: KexAlgorithms
/etc/ssh/sshd_config: terminating, 1 bad configuration options

 


The host i'm sshing from supports the DH sha1 ciphers.
