• Install OpenSSH on one Linux VM, check the service status and then connect to it using the ssh client from the other Linux VM.

To install OpenSSH on a Linux VM, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the terminal on the Linux VM.

2. Update the package list by running the following command:

   sudo apt-get update

3. Install OpenSSH by running the following command:

   sudo apt-get install openssh-server

4. Once the installation is complete, check the service status by running the following command:

   sudo systemctl status ssh

This command will display the status of the OpenSSH service. If the service is active, it means that OpenSSH is installed and running on the VM.

5. Now, you can connect to the Linux VM using the SSH client from another Linux VM. To do this, open the terminal on the other Linux VM and run the following command:

   ssh <username>@<ip_address>

Replace `<username>` with the username of the user on the Linux VM that has OpenSSH installed and running, and `<ip_address>` with the IP address of the Linux VM.

For example, if the username is `ubuntu` and the IP address is `192.168.1.100`, the command would be:

   ssh ubuntu@192.168.1.100

6. If this is the first time you are connecting to the Linux VM, you may be prompted to add the server's host key to your list of known hosts. Type `yes` to continue.

7. You will then be prompted to enter the password for the user on the Linux VM. Enter the password and press Enter.

8. You should now be connected to the Linux VM via SSH. You can run commands on the remote machine as if you were logged in directly.
