Each Symantec Endpoint Detection and Response appliance (physical or virtual) has a set of commands that you can use to administer the product. The commands include standard Linux commands, plus Symantec EDR-specific Linux commands. You execute these commands from the system console.

On physical appliances, you can access the system console by using:

  • A VGA monitor and keyboard connected directly to the appliance

  • A virtual terminal accessible from the iDRAC

On virtual appliances, the system console is the VMware console.

If you use the sshconfig enable command, you can connect using ssh to physical or virtual systems.

See Opening the console window on a physical appliance or virtual appliance.
