To access the EC2 serial console after deploying the host, do the following:

1. Open the Amazon EC2 console at [*https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/*](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/).
2. In the navigation pane, choose **Instances**.
3. Select the instance and choose **Actions**, **Monitor and troubleshoot**, **EC2 Serial Console**, **Connect**.  
Alternatively, select the instance and choose **Connect**, **EC2 Serial Console**, **Connect**.  
An in-browser terminal window opens.
4. Press **Enter**. If a login prompt returns, you are connected to the serial console.

> ⚠️ - Assigning a static IP to an AWS instance will not classify it as an on-prem server. The interface mode will remain available as DHCP on the Infoblox Portal.
> ⚠️ - Once a VM server is online, attaching any additional interfaces will render the interfaces non-configurable through the Infoblox Portal and the device UI.

For more information, refer to the AWS documentation.
