Hey everyone, I'm Gus - release engineer and general Devops guy on the Teleport team. Some of you may well have seen me around!

Looking forward to the discussions :)

Hello Gus, I am a young network engineer and I am trying to implement the Teleport solution in my organization and I would like to know if it is possible to connect Teleport to network equipment such as switches, routers and firewalls.
Thanks in advance

Hey! it's possible to enable OpenSSH-enabled devices to trust Teleport-issued certificates in some cases - see our guide on OpenSSH hosts here: https://goteleport.com/docs/server-access/guides/openssh/#step-14-configure-sshd-to-trust-the-teleport-ca

In many cases network devices don't expose this configuration for you to modify, however. In that situation, my recommendation would to be deploy Teleport itself on a regular server so you can SSH into that, then run ssh user@network-device-ip on the command line there and enter your username/password as usual. That way the session will be recorded in full on the Teleport server and you also don't need to make changes to the network device configuration.

I hope this makes sense!
