Connecting to the Console with SSH

SSH is used to connect to the virtual console of an NSv deployed on Azure.

To connect to the management console using SSH

1. Launch PuTTY and type in the public IP address of the NSv on Azure.

   You can find the public IP by clicking Virtual Machines in the Azure portal, then clicking the name of your NSv and locating the public IP on the Overview screen.

   

2. For Port, type in 22 if it is not already set.

   Changing the SSH port to anything other than 22 can prevent access to the SonicCore management console and the SonicOS CLI console.

3. For Connection type, SSH should already be selected by specifying port 22.

4. Click Open to open a console connection.

5. In the console window at the login as prompt, type in management, which is the SSH management user name defined during the NSv deployment.

   

6. At the Password prompt, type in the SSH management password you defined during deployment.

   Ensure to use the new password if you have updated the default password.

   The orange NSv management console displays.

   

   You can switch to the black SSH console window by pressing Ctrl+s and then the space bar. If you are prompted to log in at the User prompt, enter the SonicOS administrator default credentials.

   Ensure to use the new password if you have updated the default password.
