GCP provides multiple methods for establishing SSH connection to virtual machine instances as shown below. For additional information on using these connection methods, refer to Connect to Linux VMs  |  Compute Engine Documentation  |  Google Cloud . 

We will use a standard SSH client to connect for this guide. In order to connect via SSH, you will need to know the public IP address of your vNIOS for GCP VM instance. To find the public IP address:

  1. On the VM Instances page in the GCP Console, locate your instance and the External IP.

  1. Click the copy icon to copy the external IP address.

Once you have the public IP address, you are ready to connect via SSH.

  1. Open a PowerShell or Terminal window on your computer (Putty or other SSH clients can also be used).

  2. Enter the command ssh admin@<ip_address> to start the SSH connection (use the public IP address of your vNIOS instance).

  3. When prompted, type yes to add the IP address to your known_hosts file.

  4. Enter the password (default is infoblox)
