Using Always-On Management
Platform Guide: 6900 and 8900 5 - 3
Setting up Always-On Management SSH access
You can use the AOM Command Menu to set up remote SSH access to the
BIG-IP system. To set up remote access, use the AOM network
configuration utility (Option N in the command menu) to configure an IP
address, netmask, and gateway for the AOM subsystem. You can connect
remotely with the SSH client only through the management network
connected to the management port (MGMT). You can use the LCD panel to
configure the management network interface. For more information about
using the LCD panel, see Chapter 3, Operating the LCD Panel.
