Complete the Network Configuration of and Enable SSH Access to the Bare-Metal NSX-T Edge Nodes

Make the nodes accessible by FQDN, configure the settings for connection to an NTP server to enable synchronized communication with the NSX-T Manager and transport nodes, and enable edge remote management by using a command-line interface over SSH.

Procedure

Log in to the console of the first NSX-T Edge node by using the admin user name and nsx-t-edge-admin-password password.
Set the DNS servers for the NSX-T Edge node by running these commands.
```
set name-servers 172.16.11.5
set name-servers 172.16.11.4
```
Set the NTP server on the NSX-T Edge node.
```
set ntp-server 172.16.11.251
```

Set the FQDN of the NSX-T Edge node.

set hostname sfo01wesg01.sfo.rainpole.local

Enable SSH and configure it to start automatically when the NSX-T Edge node is restarted.
```
start service ssh
set service ssh start-on-boot
```
Repeat the procedure on the other NSX-T Edge node sfo01wesg02.sfo.rainpole.local.
