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?
