Ying,

With:

connection-limit 5

I would be concerned that an attacker could flood all of your SSH connections 
with bogus login attempts and make logging into your box difficult.

If you do not implement the FWF, you may consider increasing the 
connection-limit.

Subject: [j-nsp] SSH attack
 
Hello, all,

On our Juniper router, we constantly see people trying to connect through SSH. 
I've tried everything I can find to eliminate it. The following is what I've 
done so far. Just wondering if there is a better way to stop it on the router 
(we do block port ssh on every link). Thanks in advance.

root-login deny;
protocol-version v2;
connection-limit 5;
rate-limit 1;

retry-options {
    tries-before-disconnect 2;
    backoff-threshold 2;
    backoff-factor 10;
    minimum-time 20;
}
