Setting Up and Configuring Cisco Video Portal 4.0
If you purchased a Cisco Video Portal 4.0 appliance, use the checklist in this section to track your
progress while you complete the required tasks to set up and configure the hardware and software.
Before You Begin
•
Verify that at least one computer on your network is configured for access to other networked
devices through TCP ports 80 and 8080.
•
Enable popup windows in your browser if they are disabled.
•
Learn if your network uses dynamic (DHCP) or static IP addresses, and — if your network uses static
IP addresses:
–
Learn what IP address to assign to the Video Portal appliance.
–
Learn what subnet mask (netmask) to use.
–
Learn what IP addresses are assigned to the default network gateway, the primary DNS server,
and the secondary DNS server.
