Using CLI Commands
You can use the Cisco NAC Appliance command line interface (CLI) to set basic operational
parameters directly on the CAM or CAS if the web console is unavailable (for example, due to
incorrect network or VLAN settings). Table 5 lists commonly used CLI commands. To run them,
access the Cisco NAC Appliance via KVM, SSH or serial console, and log in as
root
with the correct
root user password.

CLI Commands
Command
Description
service perfigo config
Starts the configuration utility to modify CAM or CAS network
settings and configuration. When done, run
service perfigo reboot
or
reboot
to reset the appliance with the modified settings.
See Manually Restarting the Configuration Utility, page 44.
service perfigo start
Starts up the CAM or CAS. The appliance must be stopped to use this
command. If the appliance is running, a warning message appears.
service perfigo stop
Shuts down Cisco NAC Appliance services on the CAM or CAS
Note
When the management VLAN is set, issuing this command
causes the CAS to lose network connectivity.
service perfigo
maintenance
(CAS-only command)
This command brings the CAS to maintenance mode, in which only
the basic CAS router runs and continues to handle VLAN-tagged
packets.
The command allows communication through the management
VLAN and is intended for environments where the CAS is in trunk
mode and the native VLAN is different than the management VLAN.
service perfigo platform
(CAS-only command)
This command displays whether the CAS is a standard SERVER
appliance or the Cisco NAC network module installed in a Cisco ISR
router chassis. The command outputs either “APPLIANCE” or
“NME-NAC” as the platform setting.
NOTE
: This Quick Start Guide does not cover Cisco NAC network
module (NME-NAC-K9) installation and configuration. For
