Using the Appliance CLI
Use the appliance CLI to change the appliance IP address, NetSight server IP address, and web service
credentials. If desired, you can also use the CLI to change basic network settings such as appliance
hostname, SNMP configuration, and date and time settings, although you should use NAC Manager to
make these changes, if possible (see
Changing the NetSight Server IP Address
To change the IP address of the NetSight server, enter the following command at the appliance CLI:
/opt/nac/configMgmtIP <IP address>
Then, start using the new NetSight server by typing:
nacctl restart
Changing Web Service Credentials
The web service credentials provide access to the NAC Appliance Administration web page and the
web services interface between the NetSight server and the NAC appliance. Appliances ship with a
preconfigured default password.
If you change the web service credentials in NAC Manager (in the Appliance Settings), the new
credentials automatically propagate to the new appliance when you enforce the appliance.
In the event that you need to manually change the web service credentials on the appliance, enter the
following command at the appliance CLI:
/opt/nac/configWebCredentials <username> <password>
Then, restart the appliance by typing:
nacctl restart
