Device-initiated SSH connection (outbound SSH)

You can use the outbound SSH service to establish a device-initiated SSH connection from a Junos device to a configuration management server when network restrictions, such as a firewall, block inbound connections. The Junos device initiates and maintains the TCP/IP connection to a predefined management server; once established, the management server takes control of the SSH session and the device acts as the server. This feature enables secure remote management without requiring inbound firewall rules or manual port forwarding.
