Configuring the Appliance Using the CLI

The CLI provides a complete set of commands for configuring the FireEye appliance. The CLI commands you can enter depend on the CLI command mode and the privileges granted by your role.

This topic describes how to access the CLI remotely.

To log in to the appliance CLI:

1. To connect using SSH, open a terminal program or an SSH client in the remote system.
• From a terminal program:
  1. Enter the ssh username@ipAddress command, where ipAddress is the appliance IP address.
  2. When prompted, enter your password.
• From an SSH client:
  1. Enter the appliance IP address and make sure port 22 is specified.
  2. When prompted, enter your username and password.
2. To connect over a terminal server, open a Telnet program in the remote system.

   1. Enter the address and port of the terminal server.

   2. Enter your username.
   3. When prompted, enter your password.

The hostname > prompt is displayed after you are logged in.
