Ssh Proxy

In cases where access to the devices is secured behind a "jump box" or other intermediary server/device, hyperglass can use SSH local port forwarding to SSH to an intermedary device first, and then to the device.

SSH Proxy Configuration

Parameter	Type	Default Value	Description
`proxy.address`	String		IPv4 address, IPv6 address, or hostname of SSH proxy.
`proxy.port`	Number	22	TCP port to use for connecting to the SSH proxy.
`proxy.platform`	String	linux_ssh	Currently, only `linux_ssh` is supported.
`proxy.credential`	Mapping		Mapping/dict of a credential configuration.

Examples

Use an SSH Proxy When Connecting to a Device

devices.yaml

devices:
    - name: New York, NY
      address: 192.0.2.1
      credential:
          username: you
          password: your password
      proxy:
          address: 203.0.113.1
          credential:
              username: your proxy username
              password: your proxy password

In the above example, the credentials your proxy username/your proxy password will be used to authenticate from the hyperglass server to the SSH proxy, and the credentials you/your password will be used to authentiate from the SSH proxy to the device.
