The Clean Access Server is distributed as software you can install to a dedicated server machine (the
software is installed with a hardened Linux kernel). If you received the Clean Access Server on the
distribution CD-ROM, you will need to install it on the target machine as follows:

Step 1

Physically connect the server machine to the network. If intending to configure the CAS in Virtual
Gateway mode, see

Virtual Gateway Mode Connection Requirements, page 3-3

Step 2

Connect a monitor and keyboard to the server machine, or connect to the machine from a workstation by
serial cable.

Step 3

For the CD-ROM installation, mount the CD-ROM and run the installation program.

Step 4

Perform the initial configuration. For CD-ROM installation, the initial configuration is part of the
installation sequence.

Step 5

Add the Clean Access Server to the list of managed servers in the Clean Access Manager, as described
in the Cisco Clean Access Manager Installation and Administration Guide.

Step 6

Configure the Clean Access Server using the Clean Access Manager web administration console.
