Access the Engine command line

There are several ways you can connect to the Engine and access the Engine command line.

Steps

  1. Connect to the Engine in one of the following ways:
    • Physically using a serial cable and a terminal console program with these settings:
      • Bits per second — 115,200
      • Data bits — 8
      • Parity — None
      • Stop bits — 1.
      Note: The serial console port speed is 115,200 bps in most Engine appliances. The speed is 9600 bps in older Engine appliance models. See the hardware guide for your Engine appliance model for more information.
    • Physically using a monitor and keyboard connected directly to the appliance.
    • Remotely using an SSH client. SSH access to the Engine can be enabled and disabled through the Management Client.
  2. If you have root administrator permissions, log on and enter the Engine password.
    If you forget the password, you can change it in the Management Client.
  3. If you do not have root permissions and your administrator account has been replicated on the Engine, log on using your administrator user name and personal password for the Engine.
    If you forget the Engine-specific password, ask an Secure SD-WAN Manager administrator with Manage Administrators rights to create you a new one in the Management Client.
