Configuring SSH Service

To configure the router to accept SSH as an access service, include the ssh statement at the [edit system services] hierarchy level:



[edit system services]

ssh {

root-login (allow | deny | deny-password);

protocol-version [v1 v2];
<connection-limit limit>;
<rate-limit limit>;
}

By default, the router supports a limited number of simultaneous SSH sessions and connection attempts per minute. For information about system process limits see Process Limits. Optionally, you can include either or both of the following statements to change the defaults:

connection-limit limit—Maximum number of simultaneous connections (a value from 1 through 250). The default is 75.
rate-limit limit—Maximum number of connection attempts accepted per minute (a value from 1 through 250). The default is 150.

For information about other configuration settings, see the following sections:
