I need to check the DNS settings, lets do it:
Username admin password hash $1$5CAWOFmW$j0bDOg9KeZ9skE5RtK.ak. Lets check the configuration we did: ACS1/admin# sh running-config Version information of installed applicationsĪt this point you could connect via http/s to the ACS server, but lets have a look at it from the command line: ACS1/admin# show app status acs All rights ReservedĬisco Application Deployment Engine OS Release: 2.0Ĭopyright (c) 2005-2011 by Cisco Systems, Inc.

Let’s check it, i’ll be using SecureCRT to connect to it, but you can use putty or multi tab putty or your preferred application: Copyright(c) 2012 Cisco Systems, Inc. Now you login via ssh to your ACS server. Now configure your ACS server, i will use the following settings: Note that if you don’t have a DNS, NTP, Gateway configured you can skip by entering “No”.Īfter installation, let it reboot, when you are prompt enter username “setup” and password “password” (without the quotes): ACS will ask for some information like ip address, netmask, NTP, gateway, dns, etc, and I have previously installed a windows domain controller which is also running certificate services, DNS and NTP. Now lets go a step back and review our scenario. After creating the vm simply start it and let it boot:
Now follow the steps bellow to install Cisco ACS Server v4.5. Now point the CD image to where you downloaded the iso file and run the vm: Notice that i only have Memory, Processor, CD/DVD, Network adapter and display. To finish creating the vm don’t forget to remove any unnecessary devices. This is where you really need to give it at least 60Gb of disk space, don’t forget to select “Split vdisk into multiple files”, and yeah i know…60 Gb lol: Now you can select what kind of network to connect to, I’ll use Bridge mode which will connect to my physical lan:Ĭlick next to accept the default “Disk Type”: Now is best to select 2Gb of ram for the installation but it can run with less after install: Select 1 core per each processors, two is enough: Type a name and select the place to store the vm: In “Guest OS”, select “Other Linux 2.6.x kernel (not 圆4): Open vmware and create a new vm following the screenshots:

Now Download ACS 5.4 and get the license key from Cisco in order to run this so here’s how you will get it: Please get it if you dont have it already or you can use any version of windows server for that matter though the configuration will be slightly different. Please notice that i have installed a domain controller and certificate server previously and i will detail on how you can do it in no time. This time will do it on windows but you can do it on Linux too. I previously installed and setup gns3 and vmware workstation v10.
