How to Log In to DGX Spark via SSH

You need: the DGX Spark hostname (from the Quick Start Guide, format spark-xxxx.local), your username, and your password. SSH on this system uses port 8288. The default SSH port 22 is disabled on the network for security reasons, so the -p 8288 option is required in the command. Your computer must be on the same network as the DGX Spark.

Windows

1. Right-click the Start button and open Terminal (or Windows PowerShell).
2. Connect to the DGX Spark:

   ssh -p 8288 <USERNAME>@spark-xxxx.local

3. If asked about the authenticity of the host, type yes and press Enter.
4. Enter your password and press Enter. Nothing is shown while you type; this is normal.

macOS

1. Press Cmd + Space, type Terminal, and press Enter.
2. Connect to the DGX Spark:

   ssh -p 8288 <USERNAME>@spark-xxxx.local

3. If asked about the authenticity of the host, type yes and press Enter.
4. Enter your password and press Enter. Nothing is shown while you type; this is normal.

Verify and Log Out

When the prompt changes to <USERNAME>@spark-xxxx:~$, you are logged in. To confirm, run:

hostname

To end the session, run:

exit
