ssh and console access credentials are here: Default Credentials (Passwords) for NMIS8 and NMIS9 VMs

Secure Access with https (optional)

The VM ships with support for secure https access enabled, and you can use https instead of http in any of the URLs mentioned.

...

If you want to use https access operationally it is highly recommended that you replace this shared default key-certificate pair with your own (or use an automated certification authority like https://letsencrypt.org/ for example).



Debian - Customizing Network Settings (optional)

The Debian team has an excellent wiki page dedicated to customizing the network configuration; this page is available in several languages:

https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration



CentOS - Set a custom IP Address and DNS (optional)

At this point the VM has DHCP enabled, and therefore it will receive a dynamic IP address suitable for your environment. The easiest way to access the VM at that point is from the virtualization software terminal. So go ahead and boot the VM. After the VM is finished booting you will be welcomed by a login prompt. First, log in using the default credentials.

  • Option #1 - Manual configuration
    The VM appliance is a normal CentOS 7 system, hence all the mechanisms for network configuration in CentOS are available.
    Most specifically you'll be interested in the  files /etc/hosts, /etc/sysconfig/network, /etc/sysconfig/iptables and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/<interface_name>.
  • Option #2 - Use our example network configuration files

    Root's home directory contains 2 example network configurations, one for static IP's and one for DHCP.  Copy the one you require to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ and edit it to suit:

    cp ifcfg-ens192.static /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/<interface_name>
