Prerequisites
Before you begin any of the tasks in this guide, make sure that the following prerequisites are complete.
General prerequisites
■ We recommend that you use the VCS web user interface to do the system configuration. This guide assumes
that you are using a web browser running on a PC. The PC needs an Ethernet connection to a LAN which can
route HTTP(S) traffic to the VCS.
■ Review the relevant release notes on the VCS release notes page.
■ Have the VCS Administrator Guide on the VCS maintenance and operation guides page available for reference
before you start.
IP address and password prerequisites
This guide also assumes that you have already configured a static IP address and changed the default passwords, as
described in the appropriate installation guide:
■ Cisco VCS Virtual Machine Installation Guide on the VCS installation guides page.
■ Cisco Video Communication Server CE1100 Appliance Installation Guide on the VCS installation guides page.
Note: VCS requires a static IP address. It doesn't use DHCP/SLAAC to get an IP address.
DNS, NAT/firewall, and DHCPprerequisites
The following non-VCS system configuration needs to be in place before you start:
■ Internal and external DNS records. See Appendix 2: DNS Records, page 57.
■ NAT & firewall configuration. See Appendix 3: Firewall and NAT Settings, page 59.
■ DHCP server configuration (not described in this document).
