Logging In to the CLI Over an SSH Connection

To start the FortiADC CLI over an SSH connection:

  1. Ensure that SSH login is enabled for the VLAN and subnet over which you want to establish an SSH connection.
  2. Use SSH client software to open a connection with FortiADC using the enabled VLAN IP address and port 22. Specify the login eqadmin, as shown in the example command line below:

$ssh eqadmin@172.16.0.200

  1. Upon successful SSH login, FortiADC displays the Username prompt. Enter an FortiADC login, such as the default login, touch:

Username: touch
  1. Enter the password for the user name specified in the previous step:

Password: touch
  1. If the user name and password is correct, FortiADC responds with:

Login successful.
