SSH via ethernet port?

Routers
1

Hi, I wanted to ssh into my GL-iNet AC1200 OPAL router via ethernet. Currently, I have it connected to the WAN port on the router (tried both LAN ports too). This is for scripting purposes so it would be extremely useful if I could use the ethernet ssh. Any ideas on what I can do? The error I get is:

ssh [email protected]
ssh: connect to host 192.168.8.1 port 22: Network is unreachable

You can’t connect by default by the WAN port (you need to customise the firewall rules before / enable SSH in the GUI)

Via LAN should work out of the box. Which firmware do you use?

Using firmware 3.2, can’t ssh while connected to ethernet port.

4

cannot ssh Using Lan* port

If you are connected by using the LAN port: Is 192.168.8.1 the IP of the router?
