Cisco Secure Network Server 3600 Series Appliances
Cisco Secure Network Server (SNS) 3600 series appliances are designed to deliver high performance and
efficiency for a wide range of workloads.
Cisco SNS 3600 series appliances support the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) secure boot
feature. This feature ensures that only a Cisco-signed ISE image can be installed on the Cisco SNS 3600 series
appliances, and prevents installation of any unsigned operating system even with physical access to the device.
For example, generic operating systems, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Microsoft Windows cannot
boot on this appliance.

Setting Up the System With the Cisco IMC Configuration Utility
Before you begin
The following procedure is performed after you connect to the system and open the Cisco IMC Configuration
Utility.
Step 1Set the NIC mode to choose which ports to use to access Cisco IMC for server management:
• Shared LOM EXT (default)—This is the shared LOM extended mode, the factory-default setting. With this mode,
the Shared LOM and Cisco Card interfaces are both enabled. If you select this option, you must select the default
Active-Active NIC redundancy setting in the following step.
• Shared LOM—The 1-Gb/10-Gb Ethernet ports are used to access Cisco IMC. If you select this option, you must
select Active-Active or Active-standby NIC redundancy setting in the following step.
• Dedicated—The dedicated management port is used to access Cisco IMC. If you select this option, you must select
the None NIC redundancy setting in the following step.
• Cisco Card—The Virtual Interface Card (VIC) ports are used to access the Cisco IMC. If you select this option,
you must select Active-Active or Active-standby NIC redundancy setting in the following step.
• VIC Slot—Only if you use the Cisco Card NIC mode, you must select this setting to match where your VIC is
installed. You can select Riser1, Riser2, or Flex-LOM (the mLOM slot).
• If you select Riser1, you must install the VIC in slot 1.
• If you select Riser2, you must install the VIC in slot 2.
• If you select Flex-LOM, you must install an mLOM-style VIC in the mLOM slot.

Setting Up the System With the Cisco IMC Configuration Utility
Step 2Choose one of the following options for NIC redundancy:
• None—The Ethernet ports operate independently and do not fail over if there is a problem. This setting can be
used only with the Dedicated NIC mode.
• Active-standby—If an active Ethernet port fails, traffic fails over to a standby port. Shared LOM and Cisco Card
modes can use Active-standby or Active-active settings.
• Active-active (default)—All Ethernet ports are used simultaneously. You must use only this NIC redundancy
setting if you have selected the Shared LOM EXT mode. Shared LOM and Cisco Card modes can use Active-standby
or Active-active settings.
Step 3Choose whether to enable DHCP for dynamic network settings, or to enter static network settings.
Note
Before you enable DHCP, you must preconfigure your DHCP server with the range of MAC addresses for
this server. The MAC address is printed on a label on the rear of the server. This server has a range of six
MAC addresses assigned to Cisco IMC. The MAC address printed on the label is the beginning of the range
of six contiguous MAC addresses.
The Static IPv4 and IPv6 Settings include the following:
• Cisco IMC IP address—For IPv6, valid values are 1 - 127.
• Gateway—For IPv6, if you do not know the gateway, you can set it as none by entering :: (two colons).
• Preferred DNS Server Address—For IPv6, you can set this as none by entering :: (two colons).
Step 4(Optional) Configure VLAN settings.
Step 5(Optional) Set a hostname for the server.
Step 6(Optional) Enable dynamic DNS and set a dynamic DNS (DDNS) domain.
Step 7(Optional) If you check the Factory Default check box, the server reverts to the factory defaults.
Step 8(Optional) Set a default user password.
Note
The factory default username for the server is admin. The default password is password.
Step 9(Optional) Enable auto-negotiation of port settings or set the port speed and duplex mode manually.
Note
Auto-negotiation is applicable only when you use the Dedicated NIC mode. Auto-negotiation sets the port
speed and duplex mode automatically based on the switch port to which the server is connected. If you disable
auto-negotiation, you must set the port speed and duplex mode manually.
Step 10(Optional) Reset port profiles and the port name.
Step 11Press F5 to refresh the settings that you made. You might have to wait about 45 seconds until the new settings appear
and the message, “Network settings configured” is displayed before you reboot the server in the next step.
Step 12Press F10 to save your settings and reboot the server.
Note
If you chose to enable DHCP, the dynamically assigned IP and MAC addresses are displayed during bootup.
