Applies to RouterOS: v5

Summary

This menu controls if ssh port forwarding is/is not allowed on the router. Enabling this feature remote hosts are able to create ssl encrypted connection from remote host to router port.

Settings

Property	Desciption
forwarding-enabled (no|yes default:no)	controls ssh port forwarding

Example

To use this feature from Linux host using OpenSSH client this command can be used:

 ssh reamoteuser@remotehost -L port:remotehost:remoteport

where:

• remoteuser - user of router
• remotehost - router address (if host name is used in -L settings, router should be able to resolve this name)
• port - local port that your host will listen on
• remoteport - port on the router

If user requires telnet to router, but you do not want to allow it to be plain text, Following can be done:

ssh admin@192.168.88.1 -L 3000:192.168.88.1:23

now when user uses telnet localhost 3000" it will log in the router using telnet over encrypted tcp connection.

Note: we fully support SFTP v3 as described in draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer-02.txt other versions can cause problems
