Let’s move forward now and start digging more about the configuration on the Junos device. Again, I am still connected to the console port of the Juniper router, and now I want to enable SSH and Telnet on the router so I can connect to it remotely:

Let’s 1^st check if those 2 protocols are already enabled on my Juniper router:

Indeed, they are – but still I want to enable SSH v2 and will show you how to enabled Telnet in case it is not enabled:

As you can see, there is version 1 and version 2 on SSH. I will enable now version 2:

Now I will enable Telnet and commit the configuration:

Excellent! Let’s see if both protocols are now shown in the router configuration:

Indeed – I can see them clearly in the configuration (and also they are on the active configuration because we have committed the configuration).

I will connect my PC’s network card to the 2^nd Ethernet port of the Juniper router, it should directly receive an IP. So, the drawing will be like this:

Let’s check if my PC can ping the Juniper router:

The ping is there.

I will open putty and try to do SSH to the router on its IP 192.168.1.1.

Here we go, I could log in to the SSH after the Juniper router has exchanged with my PC the keys 😊

I will repeat the same but now with Telnet:

Also, Telnet is working 😊

This is all what I wanted to show you in this lesson, hope you enjoyed it and see you in the upcoming one.
