Ordering a Network Edge Device for first-time users
In this video, we'll show first-time users how to order and provision a Network Edge device. This step-by-step demo is perfect for users who'd like to provision their first device. We start by covering how to generate a public and private ssh key using PuTTY Keygen. Then we head to the Fabric Portal to create a new Network Edge device. We take you through Licensing and Device Resource selection, completing the Device Details and Additional Services section before showing you how to create a new Access Control List. After the new device is submitted and provisioned, we'll show you how to locate it in your device inventory and then how to connect your device with the public IP address and private SSH key in PuTTY. Finally, we'll show you how to open up a new console session and connect with your device using the provided password.
How to Add SSH Public Keys to the Metal Console
In this video, we'll show you how to add SSH Public Keys to the Metal Console. We'll start with a breakdown of the Equinix Metal organizational structure — explaining the difference between signing up as an individual or through an invitation. Then we'll head to the Metal Console and add a new Public SSH Key to our profile. Then we'll create a User Key that can be used across multiple projects and organizations. Next we'll deploy a new on-demand server to see how it interacts with the project and user keys. The SSH Keys tab is under the Optional Settings section and we'll find the newly created project and user keys.
