Using CLI Commands
You can use the Cisco NAC Appliance command line interface (CLI) to set basic operational 
parameters directly on the CAM or CAS if the web console is unavailable (for example, due to 
incorrect network or VLAN settings). Table 5 lists commonly used CLI commands. To run them, 
access the Cisco NAC Appliance via KVM, SSH or serial console, and log in as user 
root
 (default 
password 
cisco123
).

CLI Commands 
Command
Description
service perfigo config
Starts the configuration utility to modify CAM or CAS network 
settings and configuration. When done, run 
service perfigo reboot
 
or 
reboot
 to reset the appliance with the modified settings. 
service perfigo start
Starts up the CAM or CAS. The appliance must be stopped to use this 
command. If the appliance is running, a warning message appears.
service perfigo stop
Shuts down the Clean Access service on the CAM or CAS
Note
When the management VLAN is set, this command causes 
the CAS to lose network connectivity when issued.
service perfigo 
maintenance 
(CAS-only command)
This command brings the CAS to maintenance mode, in which only 
the basic CAS router runs and continues to handle VLAN-tagged 
packets. 
The command allows communication through the management 
VLAN and is intended for environments where the CAS is in trunk 
mode and the native VLAN is different than the management VLAN.
service perfigo platform
(CAS-only command)
This command displays whether the CAS is a standard SERVER 
appliance or the Cisco NAC network module installed in a Cisco ISR 
router chassis. The command outputs either “APPLIANCE” or 
“NME-NAC” as the platform setting.
NOTE: This Quick Start Guide does not cover Cisco NAC network 
module (NME-NAC-K9) installation and configuration. For 
information on the Cisco NAC network module, see
