Connecting to the Command Line Interface

The Command Line Interface (CLI) is a text-only mechanism for interacting with the SMA 500v for AWS virtual appliance by typing commands to perform specific tasks. The CLI can be launched over SSH.

To connect to the SMA 500v for AWS over SSH

1. Click the SMA 500v for AWS instance on the Instances page in AWS EC2 console.
2. Copy the Public IP address of the SMA 500v for AWS appliance.

3. In an SSH application, type in the command using your AWS private key to authenticate:

   • ssh -i AWSPrivateKey.key admin@<SMA 500v for AWS Public IP>

   For example, ssh -i Ohiokey.pem admin@13.64.78.65

4. If you see a warning, type yes to proceed with the login.

   

   After the SMA 500v for AWS software has fully booted, a login prompt is displayed.

5. Log in using the default administrator credentials for the admin account configured on the appliance:

   • Default user name = admin
   • Default password = password

   If an incorrect password is entered, the login prompt is displayed again. If the correct password is entered, the CLI is launched.

6. The first-time login requires the admin to review the End User Product Agreement (EUPA) and accept it before proceeding. Press <SPACE> to scroll down.

   

   Basic system information and network settings are displayed along with the main menu.
