Do the basic configuration

Before you can use the Nozomi Networks Operating System (N2OS) software, you must do the basic configuration.

Before you begin

You have installed the Nozomi Networks Operating System (N2OS) software.

About this task

After you have done this procedure, your system management interface will be set up and reachable:

As a text console through secure shell (SSH)
As a web console through hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS)

Note:

The configuration of more than one mgmt interface is not supported.

Note:

You can use either a serial console (for physical sensors) or the text hypervisor console (for virtual sensors). This is dependent on the sensor model.

Note:

The sensor's shell has two users: admin and root. You should use admin to log in to both. If you want to elevate from admin to root, you should use the admin password. The root account does not have a separate password.

Procedure

The console shows a prompt with the text N2OS - login:. Type admin and then press Enter.

Note:
In a virtual sensor, you are instantly logged in, as no password is set by default. In physical sensors, nozominetworks is the default password.

Note:
If you ever need to change the password, you can use the change_password command.
To elevate your privileges, enter the command:
```
enable-me
```
Your privileges have been elevated.
To launch the initial configuration wizard, enter the command:
```
setup
```
For virtual sensors, at the prompt, choose the admin password first.

Attention:
You should select a strong password as this will permit the admin user to access the sensor through SSH.
In the menu, select Network Interfaces.
Select the management interface, then select Enter.

Note:
Depending on the sensor model, the management interface can be named em0 or mgmt.
