Configuring the System to Accept SSH and Telnet Connections
You can enable SSH and Telnet to let users who have the appropriate
privileges 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–PE Getting Starting
Guide, Chapter 7, Configuring Remote Access to a C–series Controller
with the SRC CLI.
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 log in to the C-series
Controller as root through SSH.
-
deny— Disable users from logging in to
the system as root through SSH.
-
deny-password— Allow users to log in to
the 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
