Set a Custom Port

Configure a Custom SSH Port

Users with the SysAdmin role or an enabled superuser flag can change the SSH port from the default, which is port 22, to some other. The new port becomes active for all incoming SSH connections. The Command Center will receive data on the new port you specify. This change is useful to customers who would like to log in to the CLI on a port they specify.

Method	API Command	CLI Command
GET SSH Port	`GET /api/rest/management/sshport`	`system ssh`
SET SSH Port	`GET /api/rest/management/sshport?port=<port>`	`system ssh <port>`

Valid port values are from 0 to 65535 inclusive. If you change the port value to one already in use by another service, an error message will be returned. Use the new port value to access CLI, for example, or copy files to the Asset Manager system from a remote client.

Some CLI commands allow you to upload files from remote machines running SSH. These commands can take an optional port number that is useful when the SSH server does not or should not use the default port 22.
