If you have many existing physical systems on your network that you want
to bring under the control of Cloudmin, which page can be used scan a range of
IP addresses and add systems found.
The following fields are displayed on the form :
- IP range to search
- Starting and ending IP addresses to scan, inclusive.
- Root login mode
- In order to manage a system, Cloudmin needs to remotely login to it via SSH.
In this section, you must either enter the root password for SSH,
or select a key registered with Cloudmin that the root account is
configured to accept.
- SSH protocol version
- By default Cloudmin uses the newer and almost universally deployed SSH version 2
protocol to connect to managed systems, but if the system you are adding
only supports SSH 1 you can select it here.
- SSH username
- This is normally root, but if the system has another
user with UID 0 that you would like to use instead, enter it here.
- Webmin login mode
- If Webmin or Virtualmin is already installed on the system being added,
you must select the correct authentication credentials in this section.
If the Webmin password is the same as the Unix root account,
select the Login as root with same password as Unix mode. If Webmin
uses a different login, choose Login as and enter the correct
username and password.
If Webmin is running in SSL mode, you will need to check the
Use SSL to connect to Webmin box. This is the default for most
installs, especially when Webmin is setup as part of the Virtualmin stack.
- Webmin port
- If Webmin is running on the default port 10000, you can leave this field
un-changed. Otherwise, you must enter the correct port number.
