A user attempts a remote SSH connection to a newly-installed ESXi 5.x host to execute some commands. The SSH connection attempt fails, though the user is able to receive a ICMP ping back from the host.
What must the administrator do to enable SSH? (Choose two.)
A.
Enable root logon on the ESXi server.
B.
Open the SSH port on the ESXi firewall.
C.
Start the SSH service on the ESXi server.
D.
Create a local user on the ESXi server.
Can anyone tell me why the answer is B+C.
I think it’s a + C,. If you enable SSH, the port will automatically open.?
If you enable Lock down mode, then you are unable to connect to the host with ssh.
By-default for a newly-installed ESXi 5.x host Lock down mode is disabled, unless you enable it. So forget about Lock down mode and consider it disable in this question.
A & C are absolutely wrong as no need to enable root to logon it is already enabled, and no need to create a local user then SU to root.
C is correct as you have to enable SSH service
regarding B i have tested in my lab and “BD” guess is right that the firewall automatically opens the port.
