Q.  What is the value of introducing a virtualization layer with VMware ESXi between the operating system and the 
hardware if the operator has no plans to run additional virtual machines? 
A.  There is considerable value in running the Cisco Access Registrar virtual machine on top of VMware ESXi 
instead of running the operating system directly on the hardware. The value in this case is not realized so 
much during day-to-day operations as it is when conditions change or performance weakens. Operators 
routinely find that the load that they have placed on a particular server has grown beyond what that server can 
handle as network traffic levels increase and requirements change. At some point, an operator may wish to 
move Cisco Access Registrar to a larger hardware base. While this task is straightforward in the traditional 
model where the operating system runs on bare hardware, it is time consuming at best, incurs some risk, and 
may be hard to fit into a maintenance window. However, in a virtualized environment, such as that provided 
with the Cisco Access Registrar Jumpstart appliance, the operator can simply shut down the virtual machine, 
use VMware tools to copy the virtual machine to another VMware platform, and then turn it on. This can 
reduce a complicated and time-consuming task to one that takes only a few minutes. 
Q.  Can additional virtual machines run on the Cisco Access Registrar Jumpstart appliance? It comes with 
VMware ESXi preinstalled. 
A.  It is not recommended to run other VMs or applications on the Cisco Access Registrar appliance. 
Q.  What support is available with Cisco Access Registrar Jumpstart? 
A.  SMARTnet
®
 support applies to the hardware. Software Application Support (SAS) is available for the Cisco 
Access Registrar application. 
Q.  What type of warranty does the appliance carry? 
A.  The product ships with a standard 90-day hardware warranty. 
Q.  Where and when can I obtain more information? 
A.  For more information about Cisco Access Registrar Jumpstart 5.1, go to 
contact your local account representative, or send an email to
