Linux CLI - SSH and Remote Access

Given this SSH config snippet:

Host myserver
  HostName 192.168.1.10
  User alice
  Port 2200

What command will connect to the server using this config?

Assh myserver

Bssh alice@192.168.1.10 -p 2200

Cssh 192.168.1.10

Dssh -p 22 myserver

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand the config usage
The config defines a shortcut myserver with hostname, user, and port. Using ssh myserver applies all these automatically.
Step 2: Analyze options
ssh myserver uses the shortcut. ssh alice@192.168.1.10 -p 2200 manually specifies user and port but bypasses the config shortcut. ssh 192.168.1.10 misses user and port. ssh -p 22 myserver uses wrong port.
Final Answer:
ssh myserver -> Option A
Quick Check:
Use shortcut name to connect with config settings [OK]

Quick Trick: Use the Host shortcut name to connect easily [OK]
