How do you enable the SSH service on RouterOS?

• A. /ip service enable ssh
• B. /service ssh enable
• C. Enable SSH on device
• D. /ip service disable ssh

Answer: (A)

Enabling SSH is done through the IP services you run on the router. SSH is one of the services under IP services, and you turn it on by using the command that targets that path: /ip service enable ssh. This activates the SSH listener so you can connect remotely to the device. You can confirm the status with /ip service print, which will show ssh as enabled when it’s active. Using /ip service disable ssh would do the opposite, turning SSH off. The other options don’t fit RouterOS syntax or behavior, since there isn’t a /service path, and “Enable SSH on device” isn’t a valid command.
