## Network configuration <a href="#network-configuration" id="network-configuration"></a>

* **Public Network:**- A public network is a type of network that is open and accessible to anyone, allowing users to connect freely. If you select a public network, you must configure it to allow public access to your server.
* **Private Network:-** A private network is accessible only to specific individuals or organizations, ensuring that the general public cannot connect to it. If you choose a private network, you must first create a Private network.

## Authentication <a href="#authentication" id="authentication"></a>

* **SSH\_KEY:-** An SSH KEY is a source access credential used in the Secure Shell(SSH) protocol, consisting of a pair of public and private keys that authenticate users and establish encrypted communication between a client and a server. it would be best if you had to create an SSH key to access your server.

{% hint style="info" %}
Access to your server requires an SSH\_KEY. It is mandatory
{% endhint %}

* **Password:-** A password is a secret string of characters used to verify a user's identity and grant access to a system or resource.

{% hint style="info" %}
To create a secure password with 10 characters, including symbols, Use a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, Include numbers, and add special characters like `!`, `$`, `#`, etc. Avoid using easily guessable info like names or birthdates.
{% endhint %}

**Generating SSH KEY**

If you already have an SSH key, select it. If you don't have one, please follow this [link](https://docs.neevcloud.com/neevcloud-products/access-details/ssh-key) to generate an SSH key.

## SSH

First, access the server via SSH using your SSH\_key, also, if you want to access it by using Putty follow these [links](https://docs.neevcloud.com/neevcloud-guide/neevcloud-knowledgebase/how-to-use-putty-for-ssh-key-based-authentication). Open the command prompt and navigate to the directory where you downloaded the SSH files.

{% hint style="info" %}
NOTE: if your SSH is not functioning, so you have to set the [permission](https://docs.neevcloud.com/neevcloud-products/computes/getting-started-launch-vms#permissions).
{% endhint %}

```
cd .\Downloads\
```

```
ssh -i  your_ssh_key username@your_server_IP_add
```

Now check the GPU on your server&#x20;

```
sudo lspci | grep -i NVIDIA
```

After the driver is installed check the driver

```
sudo nvidia-smi
```
