Accessing your EE279 VM

Once you confirmed that you are inside the EEE Network, proceed to: 


Logging into your VMs using ssh


You may check whether your PC or device successfully connected to the VPN service, and whether your VMs are up and running, by issuing a ping command. (Please consult or search for instructions on doing this on your specific operating system.) Emailed to you are the assigned IP addresses and credentials of your VMs. 


ping <ip-address-of-your-VM>


If your VMs respond, you may gain access to them via ssh. MacOS and Linux users can use their respective terminals and Windows users can use their PowerShell.


ssh <given-username>@<ip-address-of-your-VM>


If your PC does not have an ssh client, you may consider downloading PuTTY (Windows, Linux, MacOS) or MobaXTerm (Windows).


Changing the password of your VM


You are REQUIRED to change your user passwords on both the EEE and the NEC VM. 

After you are remotely connected to your VMs through ssh, change the default password of your VMs. Simply type passwd followed by your username.


passwd <given-username>


You will be prompted to type your current password. Enter your new password. Then retype it for confirmation.
