Chapter 10 – OS and Network Administration
Console Administration
If you want to administer the server locally, it is highly recommended that you
boot the server with the monitor already connected. You can unplug the monitor
later, but if you want to use it again, you should re-connect it to the previously
used port.
The default user environment is the aforementioned web-based console.
However, for advanced administrative tasks, it is possible to switch to the system
console. The background OS is CentOS 7. The standard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+T will
take you to the graphical terminal application (not meant for long-term use, only
for a quick configuration or diagnostic).
