== Testing == | |||
After you're finished with the setup, you can do the following to test out your new home node. | |||
=== Network Settings === | |||
Reconfigure your machine to use the following network settings: | |||
* IP Address: 172.22.0.9 | |||
* Netmask: 255.255.255.0 | |||
* Gateway: 0.0.0.0 (or leave blank if error) | |||
Ubuntu users can reconfigure their network settings using the command line. In a separate terminal you will log into the node using these directions: | |||
Find the name of your ethernet port by running `ifconfig` | |||

sudo ip addr add 172.22.0.9/24 dev eth0 | sudo ip addr add 172.22.0.9/24 dev eth0 | ||
=== SSH into your Home Node === | |||
Your home node is now running a Secure Shell (SSH) server. You can run the following command to attempt to log into your home node. | |||
ssh root@172.22.0.1 | ssh root@172.22.0.1 | ||
After accepting the key by entering 'yes' and pressing ENTER, it will ask you for a password, which is "meshtheplanet" | |||
If you'd like to add your ssh key to the router (instead of using a root password), add it to the `configs/authorized_keys` file. You'll see that there are 3 other keys there for our developers. You can remove them if you'd like, but they're currently the only way we can provide remote support. During the alpha test phase we ask that you consider whether you are able to do diagnostics/debugging yourself before you remove them. | If you'd like to add your ssh key to the router (instead of using a root password), add it to the `configs/authorized_keys` file.
