Status and SSH Port
Initially, this screen displays with
Status
as the only prompt. Once
Status
is checked and you click
Save
, SSH is enabled and the other options display. The TCP port number for the SSH session is
specified in the SSH Port Number field; the default is Port 22.
SSH requires name resolution for the access protocol; otherwise, a time-out occurs with the SSH
registration. This time-out takes about one minute. During this time it seems as if the connection is
frozen or that it can’t be established. After that, the connection returns to normal without any further
delay.
Allowed Networks/Hosts
Networks allowed to access the RouteFinder through SSH can be added and deleted here. The
default
Any
in
Allowed Networks
ensures a smooth installation and allows everyone to access
SSH service.
Caution:
While the default setting (
Any
) allows everyone to access the SSH service, we
recommend that you restrict access to the SSH service for security reasons. You should delete
access from all other networks! When deleting a network, the program checks whether you are still
able to access
Administration >
Administrative Access
from your active IP address after the
deleting procedure. If this is no longer possible, the process is not carried out. This check is carried
out for the security of the administrator and will ensure that the administrator cannot become locked
out accidentally. After completing the adjustments, it is a good idea to disable SSH access again for
security reasons.
