- Page 15 Cisco Systems strongly recommends using a network time protocol (NTP) server to synchronize the date and time clock on each Gateway module, and on the Cisco PAM appliance. This ensures that events and messages between the server and the Gateway modules are in sync. If the time and date are not synchronized, inconsistent system behavior can occur.
- Page 16 You can use a DHCP server to assign an IP address for the Gateway. • If a DHCP server is not used, gather the Cisco Physical Access Gateway IP address, IP gateway, subnet mask. The domain name server (DNS) for the Gateway if DNS names (not IP addresses) are used for the •...
