As the global administrator, from the Admin context, you can configure a user
context and enable direct login access to that user context from a remote SSH
session. To configure the ACE to provide direct access to a user context from SSH,
perform the following steps:
Create a user context by entering the following command:
host1/Admin(config)# context C1
host1/Admin(config-context)#
See the Cisco 4700 Series Application Control Engine Appliance Virtualization
Configuration Guide.
Associate an existing VLAN with the user context so that the context can receive
traffic classified for it by entering the following command:
host1/Admin(config-context)# allocate-interface vlan 100
See the Cisco 4700 Series Application Control Engine Appliance Routing and
Bridging Configuration Guide.
Generate the SSH host key pair by entering the following command:
host1/Admin(config-context)# ssh key rsa1 1024
generating rsa1 key
.....
generated rsa1 key
See the "Generating SSH Host Key Pairs"
Change to the C1 context that you created in Step 1 and enter configuration mode
in that context by entering the following commands:
host1/Admin(config-context)# do changeto C1
host1/C1(config-context)# exit
host1/C1(config)#
Only users authenticated in the Admin context can use the changeto command.
