Network Setup

If you elect to obtain the Access Control Server IP address using DHCP, the Access Control Server can

also obtain the hostname, domain name, subnet mask, default router address, and primary and

secondary DNS server addresses from the DHCP server. Which information it receives depends on how

you have configured your DHCP server.

If you configure your DHCP server to assign the same IP address to the Access Control Server every time,

then even after a factory reset (which clears all configuration changes and returns the system to its default

settings) the Access Control Server will obtain the correct IP address upon a reboot. If you elect to use a

static IP address, you will need to reconfigure the address after a factory reset.

To install an Access Control Server or Integrated Access Manager onto a network, you need the

information shown in

Table 3-1:

Configuration Using the Command Line Interface

Note: If you want your system to receive its IP address via DHCP, and you do not plan to reconfigure

the uplink port, you can simply connect the unit to your network. By default a new unit requests an

address via DHCP. You can then follow the instructions in the section

—Configuration Using the

Administrative Console“ on page 3-7. The remainder of this section assumes you plan to assign a static

IP address to the unit.

You can connect a serial console to the Access Control Server’s serial console port, and then configure the

Access Control Server’s network settings using the CLI.

You can use the CLI to perform both basic and advanced network configuration on an Access Control

Server or Integrated Access Manager. However, it is recommended that management and configuration
