    It is enabled by default. Do you have problems connecting?

    Then obviously something is blocking that.

    What if you put a test VM with ssh client on the same subnet, same host, same port-group where one of the controllers is and try to connect?

    If you go into controller through console and execute:

    show service cli listen-address

    you should see the following:

    nsx-controller # show service cli listen-address

    0.0.0.0:22

    As mentioned it is enabled by default - there is no supported method of disabling SSH.

    Hi,

    you can't disable ssh service, but you can disable login by issuing the following set allow-password-ssh yes/no
