Chapter 1 Central Configuration Using Cisco VXC Manager

High-Level Administration Steps

Ssh_opt

The Cisco VXC 6215 can support remote connections to the thin client using SSH. To provide increased security, the ssh_opt add-on (ssh_opt-1.0-1.0.sletc11sp1.rpm) disables SSH functionality by default.

Note To enable the SSH functionality on the Cisco VXC 6215 devices using Cisco VXC Manager, in the Device Manager, right-click the device and choose Execute Command. In the Execute Command dialog box, type /etc/init.d/sshd start to enable the SSH functionality. If the SshOpt add-on is installed on the Cisco VXC device, then the SshOpt add-on sets the OpenSSH idle timeout to 30 minutes and the maximum timeout to 60 minutes. (These default SSH idle timeout values cannot be modified.)

You can use the Cisco VXC Manager to enable and disable add-ons on your thin client. For more information, see Administration Guide for Cisco Virtualization Experience Client Manager.

Optional Voice and Video Firmware Add-on

To support Unified Communications on the Cisco VXC 6215, you can purchase and install the Voice and Video Firmware Add-on. The optional Voice and Video Firmware add-on provides Unified Communications functionality for Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Lync and Cisco Unified Personal Communicator.

With the Voice and Video Firmware add-on, users in a virtual environment can use Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Lync or Cisco Unified Personal Communicator from their thin clients. The Voice and Video Firmware runs on the thin client, and Cisco UC Integration for Microsoft Lync or Cisco Unified Personal Communicator runs on the Windows hosted virtual desktop.

Disabled Power Management Settings with Voice and Video Firmware Add-on

By default with the Base VDI Firmware, the Cisco VXC 6215 supports a power management setting (EnergyWise) whereby the clients enter the sleep mode after a specified period of time. When the Voice Video Firmware add-on is enabled, this power management setting is disabled, and the clients do not enter the sleep mode.

For more information on the optional Voice and Video Firmware add-on, see the Deployment Guide for Voice and Video Firmware for Cisco Virtualization Experience Client 6215.

High-Level Administration Steps

The following are the high-level steps that are required to set up your thin client environment. See the referenced guides and Chapter 2, “Cisco VXC Manager Configuration Quick Reference” for the detailed steps required.

Procedure

Step 1 Set up your virtualization server (see your virtualization server documentation).

Step 2 Install and set up the Cisco VXC Manager (see Installation Guide for Cisco Virtualization Experience Client Manager).

Step 3 Create the INI files to centrally configure the thin clients and place them on the server (see Cisco Virtualization Experience Client 6215 INI Files Reference Guide).
