This sample hosts file lists the IP addresses for the default router, the
internal VLAN, and the external VLAN, and it contains placeholders for
both the virtual servers and the content servers that the BIG-IP will manage.
If you have modified the /etc/hosts file with something other than the Setup
utility, such as vi or pico, be aware that your changes may be lost when you
run the Setup utility (config). The Setup utility overwrites the /etc/hosts file
and openssl.conf, but it does not warn you before doing so.
Using the MindTerm SSH Console
With the MindTerm SSH Console, you can open an SSH session for the
BIG-IP from the Configuration utility. Use the MindTerm SSH client to
enable secure command line administration. You can perform any of the
command line tasks in a popup console screen.
The MindTerm SSH client requires a Java virtual machine to operate. If you
are unable to run the MindTerm SSH client, make sure that you have a Java
virtual machine installed and that your browser has Java enabled in the
Preferences, or Options, section. For more information on Java virtual
machines and download options, visit your web browser manufacturer's
web site.
To open the MindTerm SSH Console using the
Configuration utility
1. In the navigation pane, click MindTerm SSH Console.
A popup console opens.
2. When you see the command prompt, press Enter.
3. Log in to the BIG-IP as you normally would.
Note
When you use the MindTerm SSH Console, you can only administer the
local BIG-IP. If you wish to administer remote systems, you do so using an
SSH or Telnet session from the command line. For information about
installing an SSH client on the administrative workstation, see the following
section.
