CompTIA Linux+ Powered by LPI (LX0-104) — Question 22

Which of the following commands connects to the remote host example.com which has OpenSSH listening on TCP port 2222? (Choose TWO correct answers.)

Answer options

• A. ssh --port 2222 example.com
• B. ssh -p 2222 example.com
• C. ssh -o Port=2222 example.com
• D. ssh -o GatewayPort=2222 example.com
• E. ssh example.com:2222

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

The correct answers are B and C because both options specify the port number for the SSH connection correctly. Option A is incorrect as '--port' is not a valid flag for SSH. Option D refers to 'GatewayPort', which is unrelated to specifying the connection port, and option E uses an incorrect syntax for the SSH command.
