Note To set or change the IP address of your Cisco Secure ACS Appliance, it
must be connected to a working Ethernet connection.
Note A static IP address must be assigned to your Cisco Secure ACS
Appliance. You can set the IP address directly by answering Y to this step
and performing the substeps detailed in Step 11. Alternatively, you may
use a DHCP server if it assigns a single IP address that does not change.
Step 11 The following prompts appear only if you set a static IP address manually.
Otherwise the following message appears:
No change to the configuration.
Accept network setting [Yes]

Cisco Secure ACS Appliance at the
DNS Servers [xx.xx.xx.xx]:

hostname or
IP address” only with an IP address.

the following message:
