Introduction
Figure 1
Cisco Access Registrar Jumpstart Configuration
shows the three primary layers in the Cisco Access Registrar Jumpstart appliance. Each of these
layers has its own capabilities. Each of these layers can be controlled independently as well as remotely,
and each requires its own independent connection to the network. Thus, three unique IP addresses are
required.

required.
You can connect to each layer as described below:
•
Connecting to Virtual Appliance (Open Virtualization Format) Layer—You can connect to the Cisco
Access Registrar application using a web browser. Use http://vaip:8080, where vaip is the virtual
appliance IP address (which is also the IP address of the Linux Operating System). For a secure
connection to the Cisco Access Registrar Web UI, use https://vaip:8443.

To access the Cisco Access Registrar Command Line Interpreter (CLI), you can use an SSH
connection to the virtual appliance IP address using ssh -l root vaip.
connection to the virtual appliance IP address using ssh -l root vaip.
You can manage the Linux OS by connecting to it using ssh -l root vaip. There is no window system
installed on the Cisco Access Registrar virtual appliance, but the standard Linux commands
necessary to manage a networking application are all present on the Linux OS.

•
Connecting to ESXi Hypervisor Layer—You can connect to the ESXi hypervisor layer, identified
by the IP address esxip, using the VMware vSphere client. esxip is the IP address designated to the
ESXi layer.
by the IP address esxip, using the VMware vSphere client. esxip is the IP address designated to the
ESXi layer.
Note
The VMware vSphere client is supported only on systems running MS Windows.
For SSH connection to ESXi layer, enter ssh -l root esxip.
•
Connecting to Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) UCS Management Console—This
allows you to configure and manage the ESXi layer. You can connect to the CIMC by using a
browser using http://ucsip/. ucsip is the IP address assigned to the Jumpstart. After you log into
CIMC, you can start virtual KVM console to get access to the ESXi configuration window and
manage hardware such as power, temperature, and fan RPM.
