Cisco Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server Expressway

Cisco VCS Control and Cisco VCS Expressway configuration 

Assuming the Cisco VCS is in the factory delivered state; follow the Initial configuration steps 
described in the Video Communications Server Getting Started Guide (version X5.1 or later) to 
configure the Cisco VCS basic network parameters: 

 

LAN1 IP (IPv4 or IPv6) address 

 

Subnet mask (if using IPv4) 

 

Default Gateway IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) 

Note: Cisco VCSs require static IP addresses (they will not pick up an IP address from a DHCP 
server). 

The initial configuration can be performed in one of three ways: 

 

using a serial cable 

 

via the front panel of the Cisco VCS 

 

via the default IP address of 192.168.0.100 

Refer to the “Initial configuration” section in the Cisco VCS Getting Started Guide for details. 

Note: This deployment guide is based on configuration using the web interface. If you cannot access 
the Cisco VCS using the web interface after completing the initial configuration (assigning the IP 
address), speak to your network administrator. 

The follow configuration values are used in the example deployment: 

 

Use 10.0.0.2 

Use 192.0.2.2 

Use 10.0.0.1 

Use 192.0.2.1 

Use 255.255.255.0 

Use 255.255.255.0
