Perform your initial configuration via direct serial connection to the Luna appliance. Once network parameters are established, you can switch to an SSH session over your network.
Direct administration connection via serial
terminal is the method for initial configuration for several reasons.
1. The specific IP address, randomly assigned to your Luna appliance by an automated testing harness during final factory testing, is unknown.
2. Configuring network settings via SSH, in addition to requiring the original IP address, necessarily involves losing that connection when a new IP is set.
3. A direct serial connection is the only route to log into the "recover" account, in case you ever lose the appliance's admin password and need to reset. Therefore, you should verify, before you need it, that the connection works - performing the appliance's network configuration is an ideal test.
4. Similarly, if you ever need to issue the hsm factoryreset command, you must be connected through a local serial console for that command to be accepted.
You might need to press [ENTER] several times
to initiate the session.
You must login within two minutes of opening an administration
session, or the connection will time out.
Now that you have established a connection, go immediately to the next page to login as “admin” and begin configuring.
