Good day,
At the risk of a possibly very obvious answer, I'd like to ask whether we are supposed to be provided VPN access credentials when launching the NX-OS Always-On sandbox. When launching, I do receive an email stating that it is starting and to be patient, but when it is fully online I am told to use the "Quick Access" tab for access into the device.
"Good News! Your Open NX-OS Programmability AlwaysOn is ready. Please visit your topology page and goto the "Quick Access" tab to retrieve your access details ."
My questions are, where is this "Quick Access" tab located as I cannot seem to find it even with a CTRL + F search, and are we supposed to get an email with VPN details?
Thank you.

The always on sandboxes are VPN-less. You access the devices directly using the credentials you can see listed for the node(s) in the web UI

I know the mail can be confusing. The team is rolling out tacacs to the Always-On sandboxes and the mail is re-used across. For now, you can omit that. Use the credentials that are on the instructions.
