Establish an SSH Connection for a NETCONF Session and cRPD

SSH can be used to establish connections between a configuration management server and a device running Linux OS with cRPD.

Establish an SSH Connection

A configuration management server, as the name implies, is used to configure the device running Linux OS remotely. With SSH, the configuration management server initiates an SSH session with the device running Linux OS.

Enable SSH

To set up remote access using SSH service on a cRPD:

  1. Enable SSH access.

    [edit groups global]

    user@host# set system services ssh

  2. Commit the configuration.

    user@host# commit

Connect to a NETCONF Server on Container

  1. Log in to the container for crpd02.

    root@crpd01:/usr/bin# docker exec -it crpd02 bash

  2. Copy the IP address.

    root@6918f17c5851:/# ifconfig eth0

  3. Configure root-authentication, netconf and ssh, and commit the config.

    [edit system]

    root@crpd01# set root-authentication plain-text-password "<password>"

    root@crpd01# set services ssh root-login allow

    root@crpd01# set services netconf ssh port 8034

  4. Log in to the cRPD container using NETCONF:

    root@crpd01:/usr/bin ssh root@172.17.0.14 -p 8034 netconf

    The 8034 ports on host is mapped to 22 port on container and opens an interactive shell session.
