To access the Xavier board via SSH, you'll need to find the IP address of your board first. If you have serial console access, use the ifconfig command to get the required information:

nvidia@jetson-0423318029309:~$ ifconfig
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.0.174  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.0.255
        inet6 fe80::1d2b:ff54:4538:7592  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
        ether 00:04:4b:cb:9a:f7  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 38  bytes 3894 (3.8 KB)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 35  bytes 4683 (4.6 KB)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0
        device interrupt 40  
...

After that, you'll be able to access the board from a computer in the same network using the nvidia user, password nvidia:

jrivera@bohr:~$ ssh nvidia@192.168.0.174

In general, the board will try to keep using the same IP address when getting it via DHCP. However, consider configuring your DHCP server or your router to provide a static IP address to your board to avoid the IP address to change without notice.
