Introduction
Figure 1
Cisco Prime Network Registrar Jumpstart Configuration
Figure 1 shows the three primary layers in the Cisco Prime Network 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.

You may only need to connect to the Cisco Prime Network Registrar Web UI to perform IP address
management tasks, but you may also need to connect to one of the other layers to perform system
management or troubleshooting tasks related to the appliance.

management or troubleshooting tasks related to the appliance.
You can connect to each layer as described below:
•
Connecting to Virtual Appliance (Open Virtualization Format) Layer—You can connect to the Cisco
Prime Network Registrar application layer 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 Prime Network Registrar Web UI, use https://vaip:8443.

To access the Cisco Prime Network 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 Prime Network 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—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.

layer.
Note
The VMware vSphere client is supported only on systems running Microsoft Windows.
•
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 https://ucsip/. ucsip is the IP address assigned to the Jumpstart. After you log into
CIMC, you can start the KVM console to get access to the ESXi configuration screen and manage
hardware (power, temperature, fan RPM).
