sshd enable

This CLI command starts the SSH daemon (sshd), which enables remote administration of the Sensor from any command line.

This command has no parameters.

Syntax:

sshd enable

Default Value:

After the SSH daemon is started, you can log on to the Sensor remotely using the following syntax:

ssh admin<Sensor IP address>

or

ssh -l admin <Sensor IP address>

You will be prompted for the admin password. When you have successfully logged in, you will be able to use the CLI as if you were using it from the Console.

  • You cannot use remote administration to configure the Sensor initially; you must configure the Sensor (including its IP address) for the first time from the Console.

  • You may have up to five concurrent SSH sessions.

Applicable to:

NS-series Sensors
