Initial connections to the NetMRI Administrative Shell using an SSH command-line client to the IP address of the MGMT port require a username as one of the command line parameters, as shown in this example:

`ssh ``–``l admin <system>`

where <system> is the hostname or IP address assigned to NetMRI. At that point, you are prompted for the admin account password, which is the same as that used for the browser interface.
