Server Configuration

---

Use server configuration to specify the address of the server where Cisco CallManager is installed. If your network uses Domain Name System (DNS) services, you can specify the DNS name of the server. If your network does not use DNS services, you must specify the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the server.

---

Note You must update the DNS server with the appropriate Cisco CallManager name and address information before using that information to configure the Cisco CallManager server.

Deleting a Server

This section describes how to delete a server from the Cisco CallManager database.

Before You Begin

You cannot delete a server that has a specific Cisco CallManager running on it. If you try to delete a server that is in use, Cisco CallManager displays an error message. Before deleting a server that is currently in use, you must perform at least one of the following tasks:

•Update the Cisco CallManager in question and assign it to a different server. See the "Updating a Cisco CallManager" section.

•Delete the Cisco CallManager that is assigned to the server that you want to delete. See the "Deleting a Cisco CallManager" section.

•Deactivate the services that are running on that server. Refer to the Cisco CallManager Serviceability Administration Guide.

Procedure

---

Step 1 Choose System > Server.

Step 2 In the Servers list, choose the server that you want to delete.

Step 3 Click Delete.

If the server is not in use, Cisco CallManager deletes it. If it is in use, an error message displays.

Changes to the server configuration do not take effect until you restart Cisco CallManager. For information on restarting the Cisco CallManager service, refer to the Cisco CallManager Serviceability Administration Guide.

Server Configuration Settings

Table 2-1 describes the server configuration settings.

Table 2-1 Server Configuration Settings 

Field	Description
DNS/IP Address	If your network uses DNS services, you can enter the DNS name of the Cisco CallManager server. Otherwise, you must enter the full IP address of the server. Note You must update the DNS server with the appropriate Cisco CallManager name and address information before using that information here.
MAC Address	Enter the media access control (MAC) address of the network interface card (NIC) in the Cisco CallManager server. The MAC address specifies the permanent hardware address of the NIC. If you plan to move the server periodically to different locations on the network, you must enter the MAC address, so other devices on the network can always identify the server. If you do not plan to relocate the server, entry of the MAC address is optional.
Description	Enter a description of the server.
