A jump host (also known as a jump server) is an intermediary host or an SSH gateway to a remote network, through which a connection can be made to another host in a dissimilar security zone, for example a demilitarized zone (DMZ). It bridges two dissimilar security zones and offers controlled access between them.
A jump host should be highly secured and monitored especially when it spans a private network and a DMZ with servers providing services to users on the internet.
A classic scenario is connecting from your desktop or laptop from inside your company’s internal network, which is highly secured with firewalls to a DMZ. In order to easily manage a server in a DMZ, you may access it via a jump host.
In this article, we will demonstrate how to access a remote Linux server via a jump host and also we will configure necessary settings in your per-user SSH client configurations.
Consider the following scenario.
In above scenario, you want to connect to HOST 2, but you have to go through HOST 1, because of firewalling, routing and access privileges. There is a number of valid reasons why jumphosts are needed.
Dynamic Jumphost List
The simplest way to connect to a target server via a jump host is using the
-J
flag from the command line. This tells ssh to make a connection to the jump host and then establish a TCP forwarding to the target server, from there (make sure you’ve Passwordless SSH Login between machines).If usernames or ports Diskcatalogmaker 7 2 6 – catalog your disks. on machines differ, specify them on the terminal as shown.
Multiple Jumphosts List
The same syntax can be used to make jumps over multiple servers.
Static Jumphost List
Static jumphost list means, that you know the jumphost or jumphosts that you need to connect a machine. Therefore you need to add the following static jumphost ‘routing’ in
~/.ssh/config
file and specify the host aliases as shown.Now try to connect to a target server via a jump host as shown.
The second method is to use the ProxyCommand option to add the jumphost configuration in your
~.ssh/config
or $HOME/.ssh/config
file as shown.![Connect Connect](https://jumpdesktop.com/redir/new_connect/assets/imgs/connectui.png)
In this example, the target host is contabo and the jumphost is vps1.
Where the command
Proxy Command ssh -q -W %h:%p vps1
, means run ssh in quiet mode (using -q
) and in stdio forwarding (using -W
) mode, redirect the connection through an intermediate host (vps1).Then try to access your target host as shown.
Jump Desktop Connect Log
The above command will first open an ssh connection to vps1 in the background effected by the ProxyCommand, and there after, start the ssh session to the target server contabo.
