Configuring a Custom Port Number for Connection to SmartZone

By default, ICX switches use TCP destination port 22 to connect with SmartZone. Use the manager ssh-port command to configure a different port number for connecting with SmartZone.

The following example configures an ICX switch to connect to SmartZone over SSH port 25. A warning message is displayed as shown if a session is already established. You must confirm the configuration update when prompted before the new connection is established. Check configuration status with the show manager status command.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# manager ssh-port
  DECIMAL   Enter a decimal value (Default 22)
device(config)# manager ssh-port 25

device(config)# manager ssh-port 25  <-- Warning message -->
Current session if established will be dropped to establish a new session with port 25.
Are you sure? (enter 'y' or 'n'): y  <-- You must confirm the configuration.

!
device(config)# exit

device# show manager status

Note: If you configure a custom port on an ICX switch, the SmartZone controller settings must also be updated. Refer to the appropriate version of the RUCKUS SmartZone administration guide for details.
