Chapter 3 Installing the Clean Access Manager and Clean Access Server Installing the Clean Access Server Summary of Steps For New Installation Note Refer to the Cisco NAC Appliance - Clean Access Manager Configuration Guide, Release 4.8(3) for additional deployment information for new installations. Step 1 Follow the instructions on your welcome letter to obtain a valid license file for your installation. Refer to the instructions in Cisco NAC Appliance Service Contract/Licensing Support for details. (If you are evaluating Cisco NAC Appliance, visit http://www.cisco.com/go/license/public to obtain an evaluation license.) Note CAS licenses are generated based on the eth0 address of the CAM. Both CAM and CAS licenses are installed via the CAM web admin console. Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Obtain a bootable CD of the latest version of the software. You can log in to Cisco Secure Software and download the latest 4.8(x) .ISO image. Connect the CAS to the network and connect a monitor and keyboard to the CAS, or connect your workstation to the CAS via serial cable, as described in Connect the Clean Access Server, page 3-22. Install the software as described in Install the Clean Access Server (CAS) Software from CD-ROM, page 3-22. Note If your NAC-3310 appliance does not read the software on the CD ROM drive and instead attempts to boot from the hard disk, before proceeding you will need to change the appliance settings to boot from CD ROM as described in Configuring Boot Settings on the Cisco NAC Appliance CAM/CAS, page 3-40. Step 5 Perform the initial configuration of the CAS, as described in Perform the Initial CAS Configuration, page 3-24. Note For High Availability mode, install and initially configure each CAS first before configuring HA. Refer to Installing a Clean Access Server High Availability Pair, page 4-17 for details. You must use identical appliances (e.g. NAC-3350 and NAC-3350) in order to configure High Availability (HA) pairs of Clean Access Managers (CAMs) or Clean Access Servers (CASs). Step 6 Step 7 Make sure your Clean Access Manager is installed and initially configured as described in the Cisco NAC Appliance - Clean Access Manager Configuration Guide, Release 4.8(3). Valid FlexLM license file(s) for your Clean Access Server (s) must be installed via the Clean Access Manager web console to complete configuration of the CAS. Add your Clean Access Server(s) to the Clean Access Manager, as described in the Cisco NAC Appliance - Clean Access Manager Configuration Guide, Release 4.8(3). From this point, you can configure your Clean Access Servers via the CAM web console, or via the CAS direct access web console for certain specific settings.
