Connect to the FortiAnalyzer-BigData CLI

After configuring the FortiAnalyzer-BigData network, you can use the IP addresses to access the FortiAnalyzer-BigData Main CLI or the Security Event Manager Controller and manage the system.

To connect to the FortiAnalyzer-BigData Main CLI:

1. Establish an SSH connection to the Main Host IP you configured in the set up process. See, Initial set up.
2. Log in using the administrator credentials you created in Set up Administrator accounts.
   If you did not create a new administrator credential, use the default credentials of username admin with no password.

To connect to the Security Event Manager Controller:

1. Establish an SSH connection to the Cluster Management IP you configured in Initial set up.

   If the Cluster Management IP is not reachable, you can SSH to the Main CLI first (see To connect to the FortiAnalyzer-BigData Main CLI.) and then SSH to the Controller host or any of the cluster hosts using its internal IP. (For example, to SSH to the Controller host, use exec ssh root@198.18.1.2). The IP it is in can be determined by this format: 198.18.{chassis_id}.{blade_id} where 198.18* is the default internal subnet.

2. Log in using the default username root and password fortinet@123.
3. After establishing a connection, you can use the fazbdctl CLI commands to manage the cluster. For more information, see the FortiAnalyzer-BigData CLI Reference on the Fortinet Doc Library.

   Fortinet strongly recommends that you update the password with the fazbdctl set password command.
