Launching the NSv CLI from the Hyper-V VM Console
When SSH is not enabled on SonicWall NSv, you must access the command-line interface (CLI) directly through the Hyper-V virtual machine console. This method is commonly used during initial deployment, password recovery, or when the management interface is not reachable.
To launch the NSv CLI from the Hyper-V vm console
-
Open the Hyper-V Manager.
-
Connect to the Hyper-V host where the NSv virtual machine is deployed.
-
Locate the NSv virtual machine in the list.
-
Right-click the NSv VM and select Connect.
-
On the NSV VM Console , press Enter to display the login prompt.
-
Sign in using the NSv administrator credentials.
After successful login, the NSv CLI prompt appears.
To enable SSH from the CLI, enter configuration mode > navigate to the administration context > run the enable-ssh command, and then commit the changes.
