Introduction : Accessing the OnBoard Appliance Console

Accessing the OnBoard Appliance Console
Administrators and authorized users can access the OnBoard appliance console, in the following three ways.
By local logins through the console port: Local administrators or authorized users can access the command line by logging in through the console port. This requires the user or administrator to have physical access to a terminal or workstation that is connected to the OnBoard appliance’s console port as shown in Figure 1.3. The user or administrator logs in through a terminal or through a terminal emulation program on the connected workstation.
Logging In Through the Console Port
By using SSH: Remote administrators and authorized users can access the OnBoard appliance’s command line through an SSH connection between the user’s workstation and the appliance. See Using SSH with the OnBoard Appliance.
By clicking Connect to OnBoard on the Web Manager: After logging into the Web Manager, any type of user can access the console by clicking OnBoard in the left menu and then clicking the Connect to OnBoard button.
The following sections describe the menus available to regular users and administrative users after they log into the OnBoard appliance console.
