This topic describes how to use a local RDP client tool to log on to a bastion host and access a host on which you want to perform O&M operations. A built-in Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) (formerly MSTSC) is used as an example.
Prerequisites
The O&M addresses of a bastion host are obtained. You can obtain the O&M addresses in the Bastion Host Information section on the Overview page of the console of the bastion host. For more information, see Log on to the console of a bastion host.
Bastionhost provides fixed O&M addresses and supports dynamic O&M IP addresses to implement disaster recovery. The IP address to which the private O&M address of a bastion host is resolved may change. We recommend that you perform O&M operations by using an O&M address. This helps prevent unavailable O&M due to the IP address change.
Procedure
Start RDC on your local host.
Enter
<O&M address of a bastion host>:63389and click Connect.
In the Remote Desktop Connection dialog box, click Yes.
Enter the username and password of the account that is used to log on to the bastion host and click Login.
Optional: If multi-factor authentication (MFA) is enabled for the RAM user, enter the verification code obtained from the bound MFA device (the Alibaba Cloud app) and press Enter.
On the asset management page, double-click the host to which you want to connect from the bastion host.
