SSH Reference Manual

INTERFACE

Use this parameter to specify the local IP address(es) SSH2 should listen on for incoming SSH connections.

Parameter Syntax

INTERFACE ip-address [, ip-address, ...]

Arguments

ip-address

IP address or host name SSH2 should listen on.

Default

If omitted, SSH2 will listen on all local IP addresses of the configured TCPIP process(es) (SUBNET

), which

corresponds to INTERFACE value 0.0.0.0 or, in case of IPv6, 0::0.

Examples

INTERFACE 10.0.0.196

INTERFACE fe80::a00:8eff:fe00:d14e

INTERFACE ::FFFF:222.1.41.90

INTERFACE nonstop1

Considerations

• The value must be set consistent with the value of parameter IPMODE

• If a host name is resolved to multiple IP addresses, then only those IP addresses are used that occur in the

subnet configuration of the configured TCP/IP processes (parameter SUBNET

• If the any address (0.0.0.0 or 0::0) is listed in INTERFACE, then the ANY address is used only for those IP

processes that aren’t configured with any of the other listed non-ANY addresses. See section "

Multiple IP

Process, Multiple IP Address Considerations" for an example.

• If parameter is set via PARAM and a comma separated list is defined, then the list must be enclosed in double

quotes.
