Cisco Cisco Expressway

Expressway System Configuration

Task 1: Performing Initial Configuration

Assuming the Expressway is in the factory delivered state, follow the Initial configuration steps described in the
Expressway Getting Started Guide to configure the basic network parameters:

■

LAN1 IP (IPv4 or IPv6) address

■

Subnet mask (if using IPv4)

■

Default Gateway IP address (IPv4 or IPv6)

Note that Expressway requires a static IP address (it will not pick up an IP address from a DHCP server).

The initial configuration can be performed in one of three ways:

■

using a serial cable

■

via the front panel of the Expressway appliance

■

via the default IP address of 192.168.0.100

See the “Initial configuration” section in

Expressway Getting Started Guide for details.

This deployment guide is based on configuration using the web interface. If you cannot access the Expressway using the
web interface after completing the initial configuration (assigning the IP address), speak to your network administrator.

The follow configuration values are used in the example deployment:

Expressway-C

Expressway-E

LAN1 IPv4 address

10.0.0.2

192.0.2.2

IPv4 gateway

10.0.0.1

192.0.2.1

LAN1 subnet mask

255.255.255.0

Task 2: Setting the System Name

The System name defines the name of the Expressway.

The System name appears in various places in the web interface, and in the display on the front panel of the appliance
(so that you can identify it when it is in a rack with other systems).

You are recommended to give the Expressway a name that allows you to easily and uniquely identify it. If the system
name is longer than 16 characters, only the last 16 characters will be shown in the display on the front panel.

To configure the System name:

Go to System > Administration.

Configure the System name as follows:

Expressway-C

Expressway-E
