Steps for modifying port 22 in Linux

When learning Linux, you will often encounter Linux problems. Here we will introduce two methods to modify port 22 in the Linux operating system. Through these two methods, in the future work and study, you can skillfully apply the two methods of modifying port 22 in the Linux operating system.

First:

01 if you want to change SSH's default Port 22), you only need to modify Port 22 in/etc/ssh/sshd_config. Here, change 22 to the Port you want to set, but do not set the same port as the existing port to avoid unknown consequences.

02 if you want to restrict the SSH Login IP address, you can do the following:
First: Modify/etc/hosts. deny and add sshd: ALL
Then, modify:/etc/hosts. allow and set sshd: 192.168.0.241 as follows:
In this way, only the IP address 192.168.0.241 can be bound to log on to the LINUX machine through SSH. Of course, as a server, I do not install gnome or KDE, and many things do not, which increases the security factor.

Second:

First, modify the configuration file.
Vi/etc/ssh/sshd_config
Find the section # Port 22, which indicates that Port 22 is used by default and changed to the following:
Port 22
Port 50000
Save and exit
Run/etc/init. d/sshd restart
In this way, the SSH port will work on both 22 and 50000.
Now edit the firewall configuration: vi/etc/sysconfig/iptables
Port 50000 is enabled.
Run/etc/init. d/iptables restart
Now, use the ssh tool to connect to port 50000 to test whether the connection is successful. If the connection is successful, edit the settings of sshd_config again and delete Port22.

The reason for setting two ports first and then disabling one after the test is successful is to prevent unknown situations such as disconnection, network disconnection, and misoperation during the conf modification process, you can also connect to the debugging through another port to avoid the need to send people to the data center if the connection fails, making the problem more complicated and troublesome.

After reading this article, have you learned how to modify port 22 in the Linux operating system? I hope this will help you learn about Linux later.
