Cisco WebEx Node for MCS CLI User Level Options

CLI User Level Description

wbxadmin

  • Used for all tasks in the Cisco WebEx Node for MCS CLI.
  • We recommend that you use this user level whenever possible.* If you sign in as wbxadmin on either the console or SSH, you go to the Cisco WebEx Node for MCS CLI.

root

  • Highest authority. Only use for maintenance.
  • If you sign in as root (which you can only do on the console), you go to the standard Linux CLI.* You need to enter the root password for privileged commands.

How to Sign In to the Cisco WebEx Node for MCS CLI


Signing In to the Cisco WebEx Node for MCS CLI By Using the Console

You can use the console to do one of the following:

  • Sign in to the Cisco WebEx Node for MCS CLI as the wbxadmin user.
  • Sign in to the Linux terminal as the root user.


You cannot sign in directly to the Cisco WebEx Node for MCS CLI as the root user.


Procedure
  1. Connect the monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the Cisco WebEx Node for MCS.
    The Cisco Unified Communications system sign-in page is displayed.
  2. For the username, enter wbxadmin.
  3. Enter the password for the wbxadmin user. This was established during installation.
    The system displays the CLI. You can now enter commands.

Signing In to the Cisco WebEx Node for MCS CLI By Using SSH

You can sign in as the wbxadmin user to the CLI by using SSH. You cannot, however, sign in as the root user to the CLI by using SSH.


This section describes one method of signing in to the CLI by using SSH. Other methods might be available for you.


Before You Begin

You need a remote connection with a non-configurable terminal emulation program, such as the Windows SSH client, to sign in to the CLI remotely by using SSH.


Procedure
  1. From your computer, go to Start > Programs > SSH Secure Shell > Secure Shell Client.
  2. Click Quick Connect.
  3. In the Connect to Remote Host dialog box, enter these values:


Field Value

Host Name

IP address of your Cisco WebEx Node for MCS

User Name

wbxadmin

Port Number

22

Authentication Method

leave as <Profile Settings>


4. Click Connect.
5. In the Enter Password dialog box, enter the password for the wbxadmin user. This was established during installation.
6. Click OK.
The system displays the CLI, and you can now enter commands.
