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.
Note
Static IP addresses must be configured for the CAM/CAS interfaces. DHCP mode is not supported for
configuration of these interfaces.
