SSH Settings

Enable or disable SSH access to the CLI, change the TCP port, or set a password or public key for login over SSH.

• SSH settings:

1. Click Device Settings > Network Services > SSH.
2. To enable or disable SSH access, select or deselect the checkbox.
3. To change the default port 22, type a port number.
4. Select one of the authentication methods.
   • Password authentication only: Enables password-based login only.
   • Public key authentication only: Enables public key-based login only.
   • Password and public key authentication: Enables both password and public key-based login, which allows either login authentication method to be used. This is the default setting.

     If public key authentication is selected, you must enter a valid SSH public key for each user profile to log in over the SSH connection. See Users and Groups

5. Click Save.
