How to allow ssh to dialers?

[KeithHBW]

Sorry in advance for the dumb question. I have multiple dialers that have the same ip address to the outside world. I need to allow ssh to each of them(so I can get some vicidial support help) and cannot figure out how to do this.

Anyhow now how to do this? Currently we can only remote into one of them, the one that was setup first.

Forward different ports in your router/firewall for SSH access to each one of them. I.e.

port 7122 -->22 on box 1
port 7123 --> 22 on box 2
port 7124 --> 22 on box 3

etc. etc. Thus when connecting from outside you would use 7122, 7123 etc.

Thankyou okli. I had figured it was this easy, I just wish our network guy would have known how to do this stuff =)

Can you please post the solution. I have the same issue. Thanks.

Well I did not do it myself... I just sent what okli said to our IT guy. He said it was difficult and didnt understand the process even after doing it for three servers. It is also probably router specific, so sorry cant help =(

Like Oki said, just map different ports of the public IP to point to different servers. Example.

Say your public IP is x.x.x.x

On the router map the IPs and ports as follows:
(public_IP:port) -> (private_IP:port)
x.x.x.x:9022 -> 1.1.1.1:22
x.x.x.x:8022 -> 2.2.2.2:22
x.x.x.x:7022 -> 3.3.3.3:22
x.x.x.x:6022 -> 4.4.4.4:22

you have a single public IP and you map different ports to different internal IPs to port 22 (standard ssh port)

The other option is to make one available to ssh to publically from the internet and the ssh from that to the other using the internal ip addresses.

The only downside is if the one server which is publicly accessible goes down you will not be able to connect to any.

The other option is to setup some kind of vpn into the internal network which would allow you to ssh into any using a local private ip.
