Connecting and Logging In

You can connect to the command line interface (CLI) with SSH, Telnet (once enabled, Telnet is
disabled by default), or serial console using the IP address of your Media Flow Controller or
Media Flow Manager. The appliance responds with a login prompt.
To connect to the CLI:
1. Enter admin as the user; there is no default password.
2. After you have connected, you must enter enable (for Enable mode) and then configure
terminal (for Configure mode) in order to begin configuring Media Flow ControllerMedia
Flow Manager.
Likewise, you can log in to the Web-based Management Console by entering the IP address
and port 8080 in a browser window and using admin as the login name.

Changing Ethernet Name Assignments After Installation

When installing Media Flow Controller 2.0 or earlier software to restore or upgrade it, if you do
not assign the correct port to eth0 during installation, your licenses may not work because the
2.0 and earlier licenses are tied to the MAC address of the management interface (eth0). The
installation process gives you several Ethernet Naming options to configure the eth0 port and
to verify that all the interfaces are named correctly; however, if you misconfigure eth0 during
installation, and you choose to not do a re-installation to correct the naming, there is a
workaround using the CLI.
The CLI to set eth0 automatically renames some or all of the other interfaces as well.
Note!
Follow these steps using the CLI to name the interface to use as eth0.
1. Enter enable on one line, and configure terminal on the next to get to Configure mode.
2. Enter show license to see what MAC address your licenses are tied to.
3. Enter show interface to see what interfaces the system discovered and determine which
one you want for eth0.
4. Use management interface <MAC_address> to name the interface with the correct
MAC address to be eth0. All interfaces are re-named.
5. Reboot the machine using reload.
6. After the machine is rebooted, use show interface again to determine what the new
Ethernet name assignments are.
7. Use show license to confirm that your licenses are working.
