Connecting to the CLI
This section assumes you have already performed the initial setup of the appliance using the configuration wizard. For detailed information, see the SteelHead Installation Guide.
To connect to the CLI
1. You can connect to the CLI using one of the following options:
– An ASCII terminal or emulator that can connect to the serial console. It must have the following settings: 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
– A computer with an SSH client that is connected to the appliance Primary port. (In rare cases, you might connect through the Auxiliary port.)
2. At the system prompt enter the following command if the appliance resolves to your local DNS:
ssh admin@<host>.<domain>
Otherwise at the system prompt enter the following command:
ssh admin@<ipaddress>
3. When prompted, enter the administrator password. This is the password you set during the initial configuration process.
