As described under Accessing the OnBoard’s Console, administrators and authorized users can access the OnBoard’s console through either of the following two ways:
• Through a directly-connected terminal or computer that is running a terminal emulation program
• By initiating an ssh connection from the user’s workstationTo use the ssh command from the user’s workstation, the user enters the username followed by a colon and an at sign (:@) followed by the DNS name or the IP address assigned to the OnBoard, either with or without the rmenush command, as shown in the following screen example.Both of the commands shown in the previous screen example give the non-administrative user access to the same menu.When root or admin or another administrative user logs in through the console entering the first command line above without the rmenush command, the prompt for the unrestricted shell appears. With the rmenush command, the administrative user sees the rmenush menu.The following screen example shows the shell prompt for the root user.See Accessing the OnBoard Using SSH for an overview of the format of the ssh command and other command options, if desired.See User Shell (rmenush) for details about the menu options. See the following procedure for how to access the OnBoard’s console.This procedure requires the following prerequisites in order for anyone to be able to access the command line using SSH.
• The user must know a username and password for a user account configured on the OnBoard.
1. To use a terminal or terminal emulation program installed on a computer that is physically connected to the console port of the OnBoard, start the terminal session with the following factory-default console port settings.
Serial Speed: 9600 bps Parity: None Flow Control: None Data Length: 8 bits ANSI emulation
2. To use an SSH application or the ssh command from a remote location, enter the username followed by a colon and an at sign (:@) followed by either the DNS name or the IP address assigned to the OnBoard, as shown in the following screen example.
The screen example shows entering the ssh command on the command line, using francisco as the username and 192.168.44.111 as the IP address.
% ssh francisco@:192.168.44.111After authentication and login, for administrative users (root, admin, or additional users who are members of the admin group) a shell prompt appears. For authorized non-administrative users, the user shell menu appears.
