To change network configuration settings for a gateway using ICPAM, right-click on a gateway and select Set Gateway Address from the pop-up menu.
Step 1 Select the Hardware - Tree module from the Doors menu.
Step 2 Expand the Access GW Driver.
Step 3 Right-click on a gateway and select Set Gateway Address.
Tip You can also change the gateway settings from the Door/Location-based Hardware module. Filter the display to view the gateways and then right-click a gateway name. See the Using Door/Location-based Hardware to Change Gateway Network Settings for more information.
Step 4 Modify the fields or options as described in the following table.
Field or Option |
Description |
Gateway Address |
|
DHCP |
If a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is configured on your IP network, select the DHCP check box for ETH0 to automatically configure the required IP network settings, including IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway. |
IP Address |
IP address for the module Ethernet interfaces. · The ETH0 interface provides IP network connectivity with the ICPAM appliance. · The ETH1 interface is used for management connections, such as connecting a PC directly to the gateway. See the Cisco Physical Access Gateway User Guide for more information. |
Subnet Mask |
The subnet mask. |
Default Gateway |
The IP address of the default network gateway. |
NTP Address |
|
NTP Host |
The IP Address of a network time protocol (NTP) server used to set the gateway time. This setting is left blank if a DHCP server provides this setting. |
DNS Server |
|
Primary DNS Address |
Enter the Primary DNS Address configuration if names (not IP addresses) are used for the NTP or ICPAM addresses. |
Secondary DNS Address |
Enter the Secondary DNS Address configuration if names (not IP addresses) are used for the NTP or ICPAM addresses |
Primary ICPAM Server Address |
|
Primary ICPAM Server |
Enter the ICPAM IP Address (IP address or name) to enable gateway communication with the appliance. |
Port |
Enter the Port number for the ICPAM appliance. The port number must be greater than 1024 and less 65535. The default is 8020. |
Enable SSL |
The secure socket layer (SSL) is enabled for secure communication between the gateway and ICPAM appliance by default. If necessary SSL can be disabled by deselecting the Enable SSL check box. Note: SSL is enabled by default on all gateways and ICPAM appliances. If SSL is disabled for a gateway but enabled for ICPAM, the gateway will not be able to connect to the appliance. If the SSL settings are changed, reset all gateways and the ICPAM appliance. We recommend enabling SSL to ensure secure communications. |
Step 5 Click OK to save the changes.
Step 6 Right-click on the gateway and select Apply Configuration Changes to download configuration changes for a single gateway.
Note Gateways must be in the Up state, signified by a green triangle in the icon. A dark green triangle means there are configuration changes that have not been applied. See Understanding Device Status Colors.
Step 7 Verify that the new network settings appear in the Extended Status area, under the Gateway Network Address tab. See the Displaying the Gateway Network and Firmware Configuration.
