The CLI console access method varies depending on the Policy Server installation method. Port information for each installation method is as follows:

  • On-Premises Port Information : 3910
  • Software NAC Port Information : 22
  • Cloud managed : Cloud Policy Servers do not provide SSH CLI Console access.
#On-premises CLI Console Access
ssh "Policy Server Management IP" -p 3910  (e.g. : ssh 192.168.50.10 -p 3910)

#Software NAC CLI Console Access
ssh "Policy Server Management IP" -p 22  (e.g. : ssh 192.168.50.10 -p 22)

Note

If CLI console access for Software NAC is not working, please restart the SSH daemon using the systemctl restart sshd command.
