Default user and password for the CentOs 7 servers you can add in a topology in the Virl editor in DevNet

[WVR]

Hello,

I've made a Virl Topology with 6 servers and got it all to work except I have no idea what the default User and Password is for these servers:

PS: Do we have a doc somewhere describing the different options/config details and use cases for above options?

Hey, there coffee friend. Does this help? http://virl.cisco.com/defaults.php

Got another cappuccino to wake up and I've seen now a nice note:

Build Initial Configuration (ANK) MUST be used, otherwise the Linux server will be inaccessible.

So the magical question is, how to activate this build ?

A quick first google and search on the forum did not help.

I did try all the user pass combi's I've could find on the VIRL info page and the DEVNET info page with user and pass.

I've build my own topology from scratch, this might be a important detail.

Found the magic answer ;-)

I've should have build my topology and then press the button before launching the VIRL setup:

This will add a nice piece of code:

<entry key="config" type="string">#cloud-config
bootcmd:
- ln -s -t /etc/rc.d /etc/rc.local
hostname: server-1
manage_etc_hosts: true
runcmd:
- systemctl start rc-local
- sed -i '/^\s*PasswordAuthentication\s\+no/d' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
- echo "UseDNS no" &gt;&gt; /etc/ssh/sshd_config
- service ssh restart
- service sshd restart
users:
- default
- gecos: User configured by VIRL Configuration Engine 0.23.12
lock-passwd: false

Awesome buddy, see coffee solves all problems. :)

Not all, but it allows to reset the connection and have a fresh look at stuff ;-)
