Configuring system name and access settings
The
System administration
and the means by which it is accessed by administrators.
System settings
System name
The System name is used to identify the VCS. It appears in various places in the web interface, and in the
display on the front panel of the unit (so that you can identify it when it is in a rack with other systems). The
System name is also used by Cisco TMS.
We recommend that you give the VCS a name that allows you to easily and uniquely identify it.
Ephemeral ports range
You can specify the Ephemeral port range start and end values. This defines the port range to use for
ephemeral outbound connections not otherwise constrained by VCS call processing.
The default range of 30000 – 35999 applies to new installations of X8.1 or later; the previous default range of
40000 – 49999 still applies to earlier releases that have upgraded to X8.1.
Administration access settings
While you can administer the VCS via a PC connected directly to the unit via a serial cable, you may want to
access the system remotely over IP. You can do this using either the web interface (via HTTPS) or through a
command line interface (via SSH).
The configurable options are:
Field
Description
Services
Serial port /
Determines whether the system can
console
be accessed locally via either the
serial port (for a physical system) or
VMware console (for a virtual
machine). Default is On.
SSH service
Determines whether the VCS can be
accessed via SSH and SCP. Default is
On.
Web interface
Determines whether the VCS can be
(over HTTPS)
accessed via the web interface.
Default is On.

(System >
Administration) is used to configure the name of the VCS
Usage tips
Serial port / console access is always enabled for one
minute following a restart, even if it is normally
disabled.
Cisco TMS accesses the VCS via the web server. If
HTTPS mode is turned off, Cisco TMS will not be able to
access it.
