SSH¶

Secure Shell (SSH) server can be configured for remote login to the router, giving a secure connection from standard SSH clients.

Independent SSH servers can be started in any vrf. At boot time, SSH is started by default in the main VRF if not configured.

Users can configure the address and port on which SSH listens on.

Here is an example of configuration that will start a SSH server in the main vrf:

vsr running config# / vrf main ssh-server

To display the SSH server state:

vsr> show state / vrf main ssh-server
ssh-server
    enabled true
    address 0.0.0.0
    port 22
    permit-root-login yes
    ..

The same configuration can be made using this NETCONF XML configuration:

vsr> show config xml absolute / vrf main ssh-server
<config xmlns="urn:6wind:vrouter">
  <vrf>
    <name>main</name>
    <ssh-server xmlns="urn:6wind:vrouter/ssh-server">
      <enabled>true</enabled>
      <port>22</port>
      <permit-root-login>yes</permit-root-login>
    </ssh-server>
  </vrf>
</config>
