• ActiveX on IE, Java Applet on non-IE Browser (Default)—Runs ActiveX if Internet Explorer is
detected, and runs Java Applet if another (non-IE) browser is detected. If ActiveX fails on IE, the
CAS attempts to run a Java Applet. For non-IE browsers, only the Java Applet is run.
The following two options need to be checked to use the ActiveX/Java Applet web client to refresh the
client’s IP address:
Step 3 Click the checkbox for Use web client to detect client MAC address and Operating System.
Note For a Windows 8.1 client machine, while configuring the user pages in CAM web console, if you
have selected the web client as 'Java Applet Only' and enabled the 'Use web client to detect client
MAC address and Operating System' option, then the client Operating System might be detected
as Windows 8. While using Applet for Windows 8.1, configure the user page with the operating
system as WINDOWS_ALL.
Step 4 Click the checkbox for Use web client to release and renew IP address when necessary (OOB) to
release/renew the IP address for the OOB client after authentication without bouncing the switch port.
Note This option can introduce unpredictable results for OOB clients if not configured correctly for
your specific network topology. For detailed information on Access to Authentication VLAN
change detection, refer to Configure Access to Authentication VLAN Change Detection,
page 3-67.
Step 5 When use of the web client is enabled for IP address release/renew, for Linux/Mac OS X clients, you can
optionally click the checkbox for Install DHCP Refresh tool into Linux/Mac OS system directory.
This will install a DHCP refresh tool on the client to avoid the root/admin password prompt when the IP
address is refreshed.
Step 6 Click Update to save settings.
Note To use this feature. “Enable L3 support” must be enabled under Device Management > CCA Servers
> Manage[CAS_IP] > Network > IP.
For further details, see “Configuring Layer 3 Out-of Band (L3 OOB) in the Cisco NAC Appliance - Clean
Access Server Configuration Guide, Release 4.9(x).
