The configuration for the virtual machine includes one virtual Ethernet adapter. The initial network
configuration of this adapter is:
Accessing the Console User Interface
The appliance’s console user interface can be used to perform basic administrative functions such as
changing the network configuration or viewing the appliance’s MAC address details. It is also possible to
recover a forgotten administrator password, or reset the appliance to its factory default settings.
For hardware appliances, you may access the console using a null modem cable connected to the serial port
on the rear of the chassis. Use serial port settings of 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. Flow
control is not required.
Both hardware and virtual appliances support command-line access directly at the console, and remotely
via SSH. The following table summarizes the methods that you may use to access the console user interface.
Console Login
To access the console user interface:
Log in with the username admin and the appliance’s root password. This is admin by default, but is
changed during the initial setup wizard.
