Overview

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
Requirements for Cisco NAC Appliance (Cisco Clean Access)
supported on Cisco NAC Appliance CAM/CAS platforms.
This chapter contains information for performing CD software installation and initial configuration of a
Clean Access Server. 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 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

configuration of these interfaces.

Switch/Router Configuration

The Clean Access Server does not advertise routes. Instead, static routes must be added to the next hop
router indicating that traffic to the managed subnets must be relayed to the Clean Access Server's trusted
interface.
