Overview
The Cisco NAC Appliance CAM/CAS hardware platforms are Linux-based network hardware
appliances which are pre-installed with either the CAM (MANAGER) or CAS (SERVER) application,
the operating system, and all relevant components on a dedicated server machine. In Release 4.7(0) and
later, the operating system comprises a hardened Linux kernel based on CentOS 5.3. Cisco NAC
Appliance does not support the installation of any other packages or applications onto a CAM or CAS
dedicated machine.
When you receive a new Cisco NAC Appliance, you will need to connect to the appliance and perform
initial configuration.
If you want to install a different version of the software than what is shipped on the appliance, you can
perform software installation via CD first. Refer to
Cisco NAC Appliance (Cisco Clean Access)
Appliance CAM/CAS platforms.
This chapter contains information for performing CD software installation and initial configuration of a
Clean Access Manager.
With Cisco NAC Appliance software installation via CD, you must select whether to install the Clean
Access Manager or Clean Access Server application. Once the CAM or CAS is installed on the dedicated
appliance (application, OS, and relevant components), the installation of any other packages or
applications on the CAM or CAS is not supported.
Static IP addresses must be configured for the CAM/CAS interfaces. DHCP mode is not supported for
Note
configuration of these interfaces.
