Log on to the FlexEdge Secure SD-WAN Engine using SSH in the example deployment

You can log onto the engine with the configured key pair.

Before you begin

Disable source and destination checks.

For information about connecting to the engine using PUTTY, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/putty.html?icmpid=docs_ec2_console.

Steps

  1. Check the Elastic IP address for the FlexEdge Secure SD-WAN instance from EC2 > running instances.
  2. Log on with the user name aws.
  3. If the AMI does not support the use of sudo without a password, enter the following command to set a sudo password for the aws user: 
    sudo passwd
    After you have set the password for the aws user, the aws user has sudo privileges.
  4. To become root, enter the following command: 
    sudo –i
  5. If required, enter the password for the aws user.


  6. If the Secure SD-WAN Engine did not connect to the Management Server when the Secure SD-WAN Engine started up, run the sg-reconfigure wizard.
