Cisco Clean Access Server Installation and Administration Guide

Chapter 3      Install the Clean Access Server
Perform the Initial Configuration
A Management VLAN identifier is a default VLAN identifier that is added to a packet if it does not 
have its own VLAN identifier or if the identifier was originally stripped by the adjacent interface. 
The setting at the prompt applies to traffic passing from the untrusted network to the trusted 
network. 
Figure 3-4
Eth0 Egress Packets with Management VLAN ID Tagging
Note
In most cases, enabling Management VLAN tagging is not needed. You should only enable it if you 
are sure it is necessary. If you choose not to enable it at this time, you can change the option later in 
the console or by using the 
service perfigo config 
CLI command. 
  •
Also note that faulty VLAN settings can render the Clean Access Server unreachable from the Clean 
Access Manager, so be sure to use care when configuring VLAN settings. 
8.
Next configure the untrusted interface. This is the interface to the untrusted (managed) network. At 
the prompt press enter to specify the address of the untrusted interface (eth1) and type the IP address 
you want to use for the interface. Unless deploying the Clean Access Server in a bridge (Virtual 
gateway) configuration, the trusted and untrusted interfaces must be on separate subnets. 
9.
Type the network mask of the IP address of the untrusted interface or confirm the default, 
255.255.255.0. 
10.
Enter the default gateway address for the untrusted interface: 
  –
If the Clean Access Server will act as a Real-IP gateway or NAT gateway, this should be the IP 
address of the CAS’s untrusted interface eth1).
  –
If the Clean Access Server will act as a Virtual gateway (i.e., a bridge), this can be the same 
default gateway address used for the trusted side. 
11.
Now configure the VLAN behavior for traffic passing from the untrusted to the trusted network. 
Enter 
y
 to enable VLAN ID passthrough for traffic from the untrusted network (by default, VLAN 
IDs are stripped from traffic passing through the interface).
