A quick start guide to launching the Brocade Vyatta vRouter
Introduction
Follow this quick-start guide to spin up a Brocade Vyatta vRouter (formerly known as Vyatta network appliance). Keep in mind that the username for logging into the appliance once the appliance is up and running is “vyatta” and NOT “root.” The minimum server size that you will be able to choose is one with a 1GB RAM.
The configuration basics for this appliance can be found in Chapter 4 of the quick start guide at

Launching the appliance
1. Click on the “Create Server” button. The Vyatta image should be listed in the list of images. Look for an image called “Vyatta Network OS 6.5R2” and select it.
2. Choose the server size (The minimum size for the server is 1GB).
3. If you have cloud networks enabled, you can create a new network or choose from an existing network to attach to a server (This is in addition to PublicNet and ServiceNet). Do not disable PublicNet or ServiceNet.
4. Click on “Create Server.” At this point you should see the root-password for the appliance. Make note of this password.Keep in mind that you will be able to ‘ssh’ into the appliance using a username “vyatta” and NOT “root.”
5. Configure the appliance. The appliance can only be configured via the command-line-interface. You must ‘ssh’ into the device on the Public interface with username “vyatta” and the password from the previous step (or anything you changed it to).
