Configuring
Before you can use the CiscoVCS, you must configure its IPv4 and/or IPv6 address, subnet mask and
default gateway. Consult your network administrator for information on which addresses to use. Note that the
CiscoVCS must use a static IP address.
This section describes how to connect to the CiscoVCS and perform the initial configuration.
Connecting to the CiscoVCS
Before you can use the CiscoVCS, you must configure its IPv4 and/or IPv6 address, subnet mask and
default gateway. Consult your network administrator for information on which addresses to use. Note that the
CiscoVCS must use a static IP address.
Note: an additional IPaddress is required if the CIMC(Cisco Integrated Management Controller) tool is used.
It can be a static IP address or assigned via DHCP.
This initial configuration can be done:
n by connecting from a PC to the CiscoVCS using a serial cable (see Connecting via the serial port [p.8]
followed by Configuring the CiscoVCS [p.9]).
n by connecting a monitor and keyboard directly into the unit (see Connecting via the KVM port [p.9] followed
by Configuring the CiscoVCS [p.9]).
n if your network is set up to allow it, by connecting using a web browser to the default IP address of
192.168.0.100 (see Using the web interface [p.10]).
