All commands in this article are intended to be executed via Hyperion CLI.

Step 1. Connect to Hyperion appliance via SSH as admin

ssh admin@<your_ip_address_or_hostname>

Step 2. Become Super User

sudo su

Step 3 (optional). Install the package

rpm -ivh https://storage.googleapis.com/syneto_public_files/downloads/Syneto-Tools/Networking/syneto-nmctl-0.5.0-1.el9.x86_64.rpm

If the package is already installed, you do not need to run this command.
