cipher scp question

Hi,

At the moment there are two ciphers available on our unix box (aix 5.1)...aes256 and 3des. Can somebody tell how can use a different cipher (aes128 one that use less cpu and is faster). How do i install this. How can i see wich ciphers are available. In the config file of ssh2 the folowwing line is available:

## Crypto

Ciphers aes256,3des
# Ciphers AnyStdCipher
MACs hmac-sha1
# MACs AnyStdMAC
# StrictHostKeyChecking ask
# RekeyIntervalSeconds 3600

And adding aes128 don't help.

I hope somebody have the answer for me.

Kind regards,

Lennard Cornelis
