Add a Site (via CLI)

The following will use the CLI to configure your site. You can also use the UI to configure a site.

1. From your UDF Deployment find your “Client” component and click on “Web Shell”.

   From the web shell run the following two commands

   $ tmux
   $ ssh admin@10.1.1.6
   

   When prompted, use the following values from “Change Password”.

2. Change Password

   1. The local F5 Distributed Cloud Node UI will prompt you to login:

      Variable	Value
      Username	admin
      Password	Volterra123

   2. Change the default password

      The result should look like the following.

      ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ssh admin@10.1.1.6
      
      UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO THIS DEVICE IS PROHIBITED
      All actions performed on this device are audited
      admin@10.1.1.6's password:
      
      ...
      
      WELCOME IN VOLTERRA NODE LOGIN SHELL
      This allows to:
      - configure F5 Distributed Cloud Node registration information
      - factory reset F5 Distributed Cloud Node
      - collect debug information for support
      Use TAB to select various options.
      You must change password during first login:
      ? Please type your current password ***********
      ? Please type your new password *****
      ? Please retype your new password *****
      

3. Configure the site from the command line:

   Type “configure” and follow the prompts. Customize the example values below with your details. After completion, skip to the “Accept Registration” exercise below.

   CLI Variable	Value
   token	56b6a47f-5ec8-47ea-baf4-xxxxxxx
   site name	[u_name]-udf
   hostname	main-0

   longitude	[your longitude, example: -122.3]
   default fleet name	[optional]
   certified hardware	kvm-voltmesh
