Configuring to Accept SSH and Telnet Connections
You can enable SSH and Telnet to let users who have the appropriate
privileges to connect to the system. For security reasons, we recommend that
you do not allow remote users to access the CLI as root. The system
does not allow root access over a Telnet connection. For more information,
see SRC Getting Starting Guide, Chapter 7, Configuring Remote Access
to an SRC Platform.
To configure the system to accept SSH connections:
- From configuration mode, access the [edit system services
ssh] hierarchy level.
- (Optional) Specify whether or not to allow root login through
SSH:
- [edit system services ssh]
- user@host> set root-login (allow | deny
| deny-password)
where:
-
allow— Allow users to login in to the SRC system
as root through SSH.
-
deny— Disable users from logging in to the SRC
system as root through SSH.
-
deny-password— Allow users to log in to the SRC
system as root through SSH when the authentication method (for example, RSA
authentication) does not require a password. (Default)
To configure the system to accept Telnet connections:
- In edit mode, type the following command.
- [edit]
- user@host# set system services telnet
