Logging Into the CLI

This section provides information on logging into and exiting the SBC command line interface.

Logging In

Perform the following steps to log into the SBC CLI:

1. Use PuTTY or another terminal emulator to connect to the SBC server on port 22.

   
   

   
   

2. At the login prompt, enter your login ID and password. The default login ID and password are “admin”.

   login as: admin
   admin@10.11.12.111's password: *****

   
   A message similar to the following appears:

   admin connected from 10.11.12.13 using ssh on sbx1.eng.example.com
   Your last successful login was at 2013-8-22 11:45:1

As a security measure, the following information may display upon login depending upon user access activity against your system. In the example above, items 1 and 2 display after a successful login.
