Change Linux SSH Port from 22 to 2222

The default SSH port on all Operating Systems is port 22. For security measures, it is recommended to use other port instead, such as 2222, 2200.  The configuration file located in /etc/ssh/sshd_config folder

[opc@centos7-docker-portainer ~]$ sudo -i

[root@centos7-docker-portainer ~]#
[root@centos7-docker-portainer ~]# vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

# This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file. See
# sshd_config(5) for more information.

# This sshd was compiled with PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin

# The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with
# OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where
# possible, but leave them commented. Uncommented options override the
# default value.

# If you want to change the port on a SELinux system, you have to tell
# SELinux about this change.
