+### Connecting Directly to an Interactive Node
+If you'd like to connect directly to an interactice node in one step, you can use the login node as a "jump proxy."
+
+#### On the Command Line
+On the command line, it would look like this:
+```
+ssh -J s3dflogin.slac.stanford.edu iana
+```
+* The `-J` sets `s3dflogin.slac.stanford.edu` as the jump proxy host.
+* `iana` is the target node relative to the jump proxy.
+On execution, this command opens a connection to `s3dflogin.slac.stanford.edu` as normal, using MFA as normal. Then, instead of showing a terminal on the login node, a connection is immediately opened to the target node, `iana`.
+
+#### In your SSH Config
+To configure a jump host in your SSH config (typically `~/.ssh/config`), you can define hosts like this:
+
+```ini
+Host s3dflogin
+    Hostname s3dflogin.slac.stanford.edu
+```
+
+You can then define additional hosts and reference the jump proxy to "jump through to."
+```ini
+Host iana
+    Hostname iana
+    ProxyJump s3dflogin
+```
+With these two entries in place, running `ssh iana` on your local machine will establish the proxy connection to `s3dflogin.slac.stanford.edu` and then connect to `iana` from there. Credentials will be prompted for as usual.
