Network Module --------------------------- ifconfig +++++++++++++++++ * A newly installed server uses DHCP to get an IP address from a DHCP server on the network so make sure the eth0 interface is connected to the network so the server can get an IP address. * Before you can login to the server you must know the IP address of at least one physical interface. * From the Linux console login prompt, enter username ``root`` omitting any quotation marks. * From the password prompt enter the default root password ``scopserv`` omitting any quotation marks. * Once you are successfully logged as root type the command ``ifconfig`` to determine at least one eth interface. * In this example the eth0 IP address is 192.168.192.60 which is the IP address that will be used to login to the GUI later. * Also notice that the HWaddr is the MAC address of the eth0 interface. .. image:: ../assets/trainings/Module2ScopTELBasicifconfig2.png Web GUI Login +++++++++++++++ * Open a web browser and use the IP address found using the *ifconfig command* in the following format: ``http://:5555`` * Where ```` if the IP address of the server and the ``:5555`` is the listening port of the SCOPTEL web server. * Example: ``http://192.168.192.60.5555`` * The default login username is ``admin`` * The default admin password is ``admin`` .. image:: ../assets/trainings/Module2ScopTELBasicifconfig3.png .. _Rufus: https://rufus.ie/ .. _SCOPSERV: http://scopserv.com/
