Access to Cisco FTD via SSH

donnie — Thu, 13 May 2021 02:38:48 GMT

Hi all,

I have a cluster of 2x FTDs running on 2130 with version 6.4.0.9 which is managed by my FMC.

In the threat defense policy which is applied to my FTD cluster, the Secure shell settings in my platform settings is blank but i am able to ssh into both FTDs through my management PC from another network segment. Why is this so? TIA!

The secure shell platform settings are used to allow access via one or more data interface(s).

For the management interface, the default is unrestricted access, subject only to user authentication and authorization based on the assigned role. If you want to restrict ssh access to the management interface, use "configure ssh-access-list" from the FTD cli.

I just made an update to this ACL, but when trying to view it it says that ACL does not exist. I can't confirm anything in the running-config.
