Juniper SSH – How to Specify Username for SSH in Juniper Router

clijuniperjuniper-junosssh

Model: ACX2200
Version : 15.1X54-D10.5

  1. I have two Juniper routers connected back-to-back , first router is enabled with TACACS login.

  2. Second router is not enabled with TACACS login yet.

  3. So to login to second router i need to use local username and password.

  4. When i login to first router using TACACS credentials and then try to login to second router from first router , it prompts password field directly without giving username prompt, hence mismatching TACACS username vs local password in second router.

  5. It is taking username of first router , but i need to force it to use local username.

    In Cisco we have options for SHH to specify username { -l }.

For some reason the Juniper documentation (http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/junos13.2/topics/reference/command-summary/ssh.html) doesn't mention it, but it is possible. The command is:

ssh <username>@<hostname>
