Routing

Hi,

I was trying to configure SSH for management on MX5-T but there was no ssh service in system services for management.

I am using Software version : 12.1R5.5 (Junos Worldwide) on MX

Kindly suggest how to configure SSH management access on MX

Thank you,

Nik...

You would need the US/Canada version instead of the Worldwide version of JunOS if you need SSH.  The SSH encryption code is export-restricted by the US government.

I got error message while commiting : set system services sssh,  commit.

Plz suggest any alternative...except domestic version.

I do not know of an alternative other than to use telnet.  You might consider connecting to a box in the same subnet as your router via ssh, and then using telnet to connect from that box to the MX5.  The setup a firewall-filter only allowing telnet from that one system.  Not perfect in that the traffic would be unencrypted between those two boxes, but all-in-all a pretty low risk imho.

Your other option is to create a completely separate Out-of-band network for management.  Then require an encrypted vpn to enter that network.  This way the only place the unencrypted telnet traffic transits is the isolated network reducing your risk.

Hello Nikhil

did you explicitly type: "set system services ssh"

and then commit
