Note
Because product software is preloaded onto the Cisco NAC Appliance CAM/CAS, the shipping contents
do not include a separate Cisco NAC Appliance software installation CD. Refer to
Upgrading Cisco
NAC Appliance Software, page 2-27
for additional details.
Failover Bundles
If you ordered a Failover Bundle, you will receive two physical Cisco NAC Appliances, and you will
need to perform the initial configuration on each machine as described in this guide. After initial
configuration is complete, configure High Availability (HA) using the CAM or CAS web console and
physically connect the appliances to create the HA pair. Refer to
Chapter 4, “Configuring High
Availability (HA)”
for CAM and CAS HA configuration details.
Note
When connecting high availability (failover) pairs via serial cable, BIOS redirection to the serial port
must be disabled for the Cisco NAC Appliance CAM/CAS. Refer to the
“Disable BIOS Redirection for
Serial HA (Failover) Connections”
section of the
Supported Hardware and System Requirements for
Cisco NAC Appliance (Cisco Clean Access)
for details.
Required Equipment
You need to supply a workstation (PC or laptop) and keyboard/monitor/mouse to run the Cisco NAC
Appliance Configuration Utility on the appliance. Once the initial configuration is complete, you will
need a standard (straight-through) Ethernet Category 5 network cable with RJ-45 connectors to connect
the interfaces of the Cisco NAC Appliance to the network (eth0 for the CAM; eth0 and eth1 for the CAS).
You will need a crossover RJ-45 Ethernet cable to connect HA-pair appliances together. The
FIPS 140-2
Compliant and Non-FIPS Hardware Platforms, page 1-1
provides interface details for each model.
Configuration Worksheets
You will need the following information to complete the initial configuration of your Cisco NAC
