Install, Upgrade, and Maintenance Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 10.x
Chapter1 Installing CiscoUnity Connection
Pre-Installation Tasks
Hostname and IP addresses:
DHCP (Yes/No): ______
If DHCP is No:
Hostname: _________________
IP Address: _________________
IP Mask: ___________________
Gateway (GW) Address:________
Sets whether to use DHCP to
automatically configure the network
settings on your server.
If you select No, you must enter a
hostname, IP address, IP address
mask, and the gateway IP address.
The hostname can contain up to 64
alphanumeric characters, hyphens,
underscores, and period. The first
character cannot be a hyphen.
We recommend you use static
Dynamic Host Control Protocol
(DHCP) host configuration to ensure
the DHCP server always provides the
same IP address settings to the server
Note If you do not have a gateway,
you must still set this field to
255.255.255.255. Not
specifying a gateway may
limit you to only being able to
communicate with devices on
your subnet.
Caution Make sure not
to use
ciscounity in
the hostname
of the server
else enterprise
replication
will break.
Yes, using the CLI command
CLI > set network dhcp
CLI > set network gateway
CLI > set network ip eth0
Domain Name Server:
DNS: (Yes/No): ______
If DNS is Yes:
Domain: ____________________
DNS Primary: _________________
DNS Secondary: _______________
Sets whether a DNS server resolves a
hostname and IP address.
Note Unity Connection enables the
use of a domain name server
to locate other Cisco Unity
servers and devices. This is
necessary when configuring
digital networking and
clustered server pairs. We
recommend you to configure
a secondary DNS server to
avoid any loss of connectivity
or service.
Yes, using the CLI commands
CLI > set network dns
CLI > set network domain
