When non-owner access SSH is enabled on a virtual router instance, authorized SSH sessions may be established that are destined for the virtual router instance IP addresses when operating in master mode. SSH sessions are always discarded at the IP interface when destined for a virtual router IP address operating in backup mode. Enabling non-owner access SSH does not guarantee SSH access; correct management and security features must be enabled to allow SSH on this interface and possibly from the specified source IP address. SSH is applicable to IPv4 VRRP only.
When non-owner access SSH is disabled on a virtual router instance, SSH sessions destined for the non-owner virtual router instance IP addresses are silently discarded in both master and backup modes.
