MLXe Router SSH Issue

Hi Guys,

I want to remotely access our MLXe router.
Right now I am configuring SSH and I can PING the interface management IP. I don't know why it is not working. Please help.

Sazon,

I see you have the SSH VLAN configured as VLAN 100. This means that if you are not connecting to the switch via VLAN 100 (i.e. the Management Interface) the SSH session will not connect.

Also another commonly missed step is; in order for a user to SSH to an MLX device you need to also setup the AAA configuration.

Example for a local user:

MLX(config)#aaa authentication login default local
