Currently I have a webserver that uses most of the standard port. Is there a way to use SSH to a non standard port to connect to the admin console of the PIX?

I have management set to inside, and SSH is enabled and working from inside.
I set a static route from the non-standard port to the inside interface.
static (inside,outside) tcp interface 60001 192.168.1.1 ssh netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0

Then add a access rule to the outside access-list.
access-list outside_in permit tcp any interface outside eq 60001

This has worked using other non-standard ports to SSH port of other systems. Why doesn't this work the the inside interface to bring up the console?

Yours,
Dale Rose
 
becuase SSH doesn't connect to the inside interface. It connects to the outside interface (for management of course). It is unlikely that you can change the port for management as this would be a big security problem. You are better off trying what you said above to change the SSH port for your website.


It is what it is!!
