Set the User and Administrative Passwords on the OCSBC

This procedure turns to the SBC and performs the password procedures, which are required before any further SBC operations. For HA deployments, perform these procedures on both SBCs.

  1. Under Azure services, click Virtual machines to locate the newly created SBC.
  2. Connect to the Cloud Shell.
  3. Use the az command to retrieve the vmId.
    az vm show --name <vm-name> --resource-group <resource-group-name>
  4. Note the public IP address.
  5. When the virtual machine has finished initializing, SSH to the public IP address. The username is "user" and the initial SSH password is "acme" + the vmId.
  6. Set the user password by logging in for the first time.
    $ ssh user@<IP address>
    user@somewhere.compute-1.azure.com's password:

  8. Verify the network interfaces have MAC addresses.

    Use the show interfaces mapping command to verify the network interfaces have MAC addresses.

    # show interfaces mapping

    The interface-mapping branch includes the swap command, which allows you to correct interface to MAC address mappings.

  9. Reboot the virtual machine.
    # reboot
