Remote access

Goal

To SSH into an Accelerated device remotely, using the terminal available via aView and a publicly reachable IP address.

Note If your device does not have a publicly reachable IP address, you can still leverage the Terminal on unit.

Setup

Devices can be managed over SSH when the external zone is enabled for remote SSH and web UI access.

Username: root

Password: default

Note The configuration steps outlined below will open external access to your device. It is imperative that the default password is changed to a more secure key to prevent intrusions.

Sample configuration

Open the configuration profile of the device and expand Services. Under Web Administration, expand Access Control List and Zones to create a new entry for External. Repeat this process for the Zones associated with the Access Control List under the SSH menu heading. The following steps reflect the sample setup indicated in the screenshot below:

  1. Under Services -> Web Administration -> Access Control List, expand Zones.
  2. Add a new entry for External.
  3. Under Services -> SSH -> Access Control List, expand Zones.
  4. Add a new entry for External.

Once the configuration has been updated, click the Terminal on Unit hyperlink available from the Device Details screen.
