--- Comment #1 from Darren Tucker <dtucker at zip.com.au> ---
The problem is Cisco does not correctly implement RFC4419, specifically
when asked for a preferred group size larger than its largest group it
fails rather than returning a group it does have that's within the
allowed min/max bounds.

There's been some discussion on the mailing list:
http://lists.mindrot.org/pipermail/openssh-unix-dev/2014-January/032037.html

Non-code workaround: "KexAlgorithms
diffie-hellman-group14-sha1,diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" in
~/.ssh/config for the device in question.
