Vi /etc/ssh/sshdconfig For example change to: Port 2323. SELINUX only allow port 22 for ssh. Add new port context 2323. If you have't installed do the following. Yum -y install policycoreutils-python semanage port -a -t sshportt -p tcp 2323 Check the port context for ssh. Semanage port -l grep ssh Restart SSHD service. Systemctl restart.
