Initially connecting to the administrative shell using the SSH command-line client requires that you provide a username as one of the command line parameters, as shown in this example:

ssh –l admin <system>

where <system> is the hostname or IP address assigned to NetMRI. At that point, you are prompted for the admin account password, which is the same as that used for the browser interface.
