Brocade Virtual ADX Installation and Deployment Guide (Supporting ADX v03.1.00) - Manual (Page 60)

After installation, the Brocade Virtual ADX console lands in the guest OS console. This is a Linux bash
shell. Use the vadx-console command to switch the console to a Brocade Virtual ADX CLI session
where Brocade Virtual ADX commands can be issued. Use Ctrl+y+m to switch back to the Linux shell.
Switch to a Brocade Virtual ADX CLI session from the Linux shell
[root@VirtualADX ~]# vadx-console
Virtual ADX>
Switch to the Linux shell from a Brocade Virtual ADX CLI session
Virtual ADX> ctrl+y+m
[root@VirtualADX ~]#
Network access to the guest OS
You can open an SSH connection to the guest OS on port 2222 after configuring an IP address on the
management port (mgmt1). For further information about configuring an IP address on the
management port, refer to
Brocade Virtual ADX console access via Guest OS SSH on page 58.
When an SSH connection is established, you see a Linux bash shell console. Use the vadx-console
command to switch the console to a Brocade Virtual ADX CLI session where Brocade Virtual ADX
commands can be issued. Use Ctrl+y+m to switch back to the Linux shell.

NOTE
Only one active Brocade Virtual ADX console CLI session is allowed at any time. A new session
terminates an existing session and the following message will be seen on the terminating session.

[root@VirtualADX ~]#
Network access to Brocade Virtual ADX
You can bypass the guest OS and open a direct CLI session with the Brocade Virtual ADX by opening
a Telnet or SSH connection using an IP address configured on the Brocade Virtual ADX. You can use
the management (mgmt1) port IP address or any data port IP address. For further information on
configuring Brocade Virtual ADX IP addresses, refer to the Brocade Virtual ADX Administration Guide.
Use the show ip interface command to view configured IP address information on the Brocade Virtual
ADX.
Virtual ADX# show ip interface
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
Eth 1 11.1.1.1 YES manual up up
Eth mgmt1 10.24.138.146 YES manual up up
This type of CLI session does not involve the guest OS. The Telnet or SSH connection lands directly
in the Brocade Virtual ADX CLI session; not the Linux bash shell. To access Linux shell, use the linux-
console command.
