How to add additional SSH port in RUCKUS SmartZone(SZ)

Summary

Article talks about how to configure an additional port for SSH access, while default port remains 22 for SZ and AP/Switch/Dataplane communication.

Question

Can we change the SSH default port on the SZ controller, or add additional port?

Customer Environment

SZ-100, SZ-124, SZ-144, vSZ

Resolution

Important note: An additional SSH port can be configured for SmartZone's CLI access but default port will always remain 22 which will be utilized by the APs and other devices to communicate with the controller.

Supported version: SmartZone 6.1.X and later.

Procedure

Log into the SZ/vSZ as the admin user to the CLI via SSH:
