 If you

want to be able to

access the Bridge CLI af-
ter outdoor installation,
you must enable SSH
(secure shell) during
pre-configuration of the
Bridge.

Secure Shell (SSH) is disabled on the Fortress Bridge by 
default. 

You can view the current SSH setting with 

show

To enable SSH, log on to the CLI (via a direct connection to the 
Bridge’s 

 port, as described in Section 6.1.2) and enter:

mote access to the CLI
from the network. With
SSH disabled you can
access the CLI only over
a direct connection to
the Bridge’s 

port.

You can disable SSH from a remote terminal session, and 
continue that session normally. Access will be denied, 
however, the next time you try to access the CLI remotely.
