SSH virtual server without SSH proxy

Hi

 

Can the bigip proxy ssh traffic without the ssh proxy applied to the VS?

 

I see some other options are using forwarding VS or performance VS but those expose the backend node IP address.

  • Hi Davidfisher,

    To my kkowledge, you have no choice but to use ssh proxy to do this.

    • In my lab i am trying to do login into bigip2 using a SSH vs on bigip1 . .i cant figure out which keys go where . .

       

      Multiple keys need to be added but the guide is very confusing with its steps.

       

      So i have

       

      PC ---> ssh VS on bigip1 ---> ssh bigip2.

       

      I understand i need to add PC public key to bigip2 authorized keys, but i cant find nor create that dir using mkdir..

       

       

      And then I need to add pub key of bigip1 to proxy client auth in ssh proxy I guess and public key of PC to bigip1 as well?

       

      And what goes into the real server key option?
