4. Configure your server

Immediately after you have physically installed your Vidyo server, you must initially configure your Vidyo servers as described in this chapter.

For more information about installing the Vidyo server and for Vidyo server specifications, refer to the Vidyo Server Installation Guide. You can access this document and other Vidyo product documentation by registering at https://selfservice.vidyo.com/register/.

Super Admins are typically network system administrators responsible for the management of the VidyoPortal, VidyoRouter, and other Vidyo components.

As a Super Admin, after the Vidyo server is physically installed (as described in the Vidyo Server Installation Guide), you must do the following to initially configure your system:

• Vidyo utilizes SSH to provide remote access to the System Administrator Console on your Vidyo server over port 22 or 2222. In addition, Vidyo Customer Support may request access to your Vidyo server over this same port to assist in troubleshooting any of your customer issues.
• When setting up your Vidyo server, always be sure to configure your firewall to only permit SSH access from authorized networks and users. Vidyo strongly recommends blocking SSH access from the Internet. You can restrict Vidyo Customer Support SSH access by configuring your firewall or contact Vidyo Customer Support for other options.
• Restrict the access to your management applications (vr2conf and super) by performing one of the following:
• Change each management application to an alternate HTTP/HTTPS port and restrict access to them using your firewall.
• Move your management applications to the Management Interface (if you have not yet configured your Management Interface, it must be configured at this time). See 5. Configure RADIUS.
• Change your System Administrator Console default password. This must be changed after the first log in. For more information, see the following procedure.
• Change the default password of your Super Admin account.
• Configure the network settings are set at the System Console. You can view the settings (read- only) in the Super Admin portal.

Now you can perform additional tasks such as requesting Vidyo system licenses and apply the system license keys to your system, changing the remaining default passwords, selecting the system language, and making other configurations.

Note Some of these tasks may not be necessary when you first set up your system and are preset at the factory. However, you’ll need to know how to perform them if you want to change the factory defaults.

Besides these tasks, the Super Admin can perform many other tasks, such as configuring the system settings, setting up components such as the VidyoManager, and configuring tenants. System configuration applies globally to the Vidyo conferencing system, including all the tenants of a multi-tenant system, and must be completed before creating users, groups, and rooms. Administrative tasks are managed by an Admin after the initial configuration has been completed. These tasks are explained in the following chapters.

Log in to the System Console of your server and change the default password

The very first time you log into your server, you are required to change the System Console default password to a more secure one. This procedure must be used to change the default password on all Vidyo servers including:

• VidyoPortal
• VidyoRouter
• VidyoGateway (an optional component)

Note The screenshots in this section show the System Admin Console (also known as the Shell menu) as seen after logging in via the terminal. The menu may look slightly different depending on how you connect and what tool you use for your connection.

To log in to your server and change the default password:

1. Connect a keyboard and a VGA display directly to your server.

Note Press the Enter key after each prompt.

2. Log in using the default Administrator account:

User Name: admin

Password: password (case sensitive)

3. Enter admin at the “login as” prompt.
   
4. Enter password at the “(current) UNIX Password” prompt. The password is case sensitive. You’ll be prompted to enter a new password and asked to enter it again.
   
5. Enter a new password at the “Enter new UNIX password:” prompt. When selecting a new password, follow these guidelines:
6. The password should not be based on the dictionary.
7. The password should not be similar to the old password.
8. The default setting is at least three characters should be different from the old password.
9. The password should not be too simple or too short. The algorithm here is a point system to satisfy the minimum password length (the default length is eight characters). The password gets extra points if it contains a number, upper case, lower case, or special character. Each point is equivalent to one character.
10. The password should not be a case change only of the old password or should not be the reverse of the old password.

6. Enter your new password again at the “Retype new UNIX password:” prompt. If the passwords don’t match, you’ll be prompted to try again. If the passwords match, the System Console menu opens immediately.
   

When you need to reset the password, use 13. Set 'admin' password.

Configure the network settings at the System Console

Each type of Vidyo server (VidyoPortal, VidyoRouter, VidyoGateway, or VidyoReplay) has a different default IP address and is necessary to perform the steps in this section:

• VidyoPortal: 192.168.1.100
• VidyoRouter: 192.168.1.105 (optional external component)
• VidyoGateway: 192.168.1.110 (optional external component)
• VidyoReplay: 192.168.1.115 (optional external component)

Note The basic network setup for each type of Vidyo server is basically the same. You must perform a network setup for each of your Vidyo servers.

To configure the network settings at the System Console:

1. Log in to the System Console. (The following illustrations show the System Console after you have logged in using a keyboard and VGA monitor plugged directly into the VidyoPortal.)
2. Enter 1 to configure IP Address.
3. Press the Enter key.
4. Enter 1 to select the PRODUCTION INTERFACE option or 2 to select the MANAGEMENT INTERFACE option depending on which one contains the IP you want to configure.
5. Press the Enter key.
   

Note The Management Interface should not be used to transfer any media.

For more information, see 5. Configure RADIUS.

6. Enter 1 to select the IPv4 (Static) option to set the server IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and MAC addresses, hostname, domain name, and FQDN.
7. Press the Enter key on your keyboard after providing each value.
   
8. Enter y and press the Enter key after you have entered the required information.
   

Note Unless you’re using the Hot Standby software option, the Native FQDN and Public FQDN should be the same. If you are using the Hot Standby software option, the Native FQDN will be the Native FQDN of the Active or Standby VidyoPortal and the Public FQDN will be the same as the Cluster FQDN. See Apply the system license keys to your system and Appendix E. Hot Standby. The Public FQDN provided here is the same one you use when requesting your license keys from Vidyo Support. See Request system licenses and apply system license keys and Apply the system license keys to your system.

9. Enter 2 to configure DNS Nameserver to set the fully qualified domain name (if it exists) for the VidyoPortal and the IP addresses of the DNS servers:
1. Enter two DNS server IP addresses.
   

If you have only one DNS server, use the same one twice.

2. Enter y and press the Enter key once you have entered the required information. The System Console main menu displays.
10. Enter the remaining network settings for the server as needed, confirming by typing y and pressing Enter after entering each prompt:
1. Enter 3 to configure NTP Time Servers to set the NTP (Network Time Protocol) time server.
2. Enter 4 to configure Time Zone to specify the time zone you are working in.
3. Enter 5 to configure Ethernet Options to set the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) size if necessary.
11. Enter 14 to restart the server.
12. Press the Enter key.

When the server restarts, it will have the new network settings. Be sure to record your network settings, as you will need them for further configuration of your system.

Change the other default passwords

Besides changing the default password for the Vidyo Server (often referred to as the System Console or Admin Console), you should also change the following additional default passwords to ensure security and prevent unauthorized access:

• VidyoPortal/VidyoOne Super Administrator - To change this password, log into the Super Admin portal as described in Log in to the Super Admin portal.
• VidyoPortal/VidyoOne Administrator (per tenant) - Change the Administrator login as described in Edit a user. In a multi-tenant system, you must do this for each Tenant Administrator.
• VidyoRouter Administrator - This password is tied to the System Console password. See Log in to the System Console of your server and change the default password.
• VidyoManager Administrator - This password is tied to the System Console password.
• VidyoProxy Administrator - This password is tied to the System Console password.

For more information about System Administrator Console Menu Options, see System Console menu options and More Options System Console menu.

Multiple System Console accounts

System Console accounts can be used on the VidyoPortal, the VidyoRouter, and the VidyoGateway.

The System Console menu allows for the creation of up to ten System Console accounts. These accounts are created from the System Console.

To create System Console accounts:

1. Log in to the System Console of your Vidyo Server.

Note Press the Enter key after each prompt.

2. Enter m for more options. Enter 19 to access the User Maintenance menu.
   
   

The User Maintenance screen provides the following options:

1. Enter A to add a user.
   
2. Enter B to remove a user.
3. Enter C to show all user accounts.
4. Enter x to exit.

The current user is also shown on the User Maintenance menu.

Note In addition to accessing the the System Console menu, the ten System Console accounts can also access the VidyoGateway Admin pages. Each new System Console account has a default password of password, which is case sensitive. The System Console accounts force a password change on first login. To prevent the use of default passwords, each new System Console user must be present at the local console during account creation. That user must log in and change their password and it must satisfy the password complexity requirements.

Manage network routes

Static routes are used in deployments where Vidyo servers are in a DMZ between two segregated firewalls with no route for either internal or external traffic. Network Routes are also used when the Management Interface is enabled and you want to route traffic across that network.

Note Vidyo recommends this feature not replace adding proper network router to your DMZ to handle the proper subnet routes. Static route setup can lead to security vulnerabilities and should only be configured by advanced network administrators. Vidyo is not responsible for any possible security risk resulting from static route configurations. You can either add a static route for one host at a time or add a route covering a range of IP addresses using a subnet mask.

For more information, see Add a network route.

Note Some un-configurable object identifiers (OIDs) are standard on all Vidyo servers. With SNMP traps enabled, they provide notifications if the CPU, disk or memory utilization has reached its threshold (~80% utilization). The specific OIDs are cpuLoadReachedThreshold, diskReachedThreshold, and memoryReachedThreshold. For more information about Vidyo enterprise notifications, as well as Get, and Set Polling OIDs, download the Vidyo MIB file from the Vidyo Support Centre. If your VidyoPortal system uses the Hot Standby option and you are not using your management interface, your SNMP notifications will source from the shared IP address. Vidyo recommends configuring your VidyoPortal using a management interface so your SNMP notifications can be sourced from unique management interface IP addresses. In this case, your network management system (NMS) should be accessible over your management network.

For more information, see 5. Configure RADIUS.

Manage hostnames

Hostname entries can be added to a single hostfile on your VidyoPortal. These entries are used to map an IP addresses to a specific Hostname or FQDN.

Note Vidyo recommends that this feature not replace adding proper records to your internal and external DNS servers. It should only be used to support DMZ deployments where there is no DNS server access from the DMZ and allowing the different servers to properly locate each other. The Cluster FQDN of the VidyoPortal can be added to the hostfile to avoid making DNS queries from your VidyoManager, VidyoRouter, and VidyoProxy to the same VidyoPortal on which they reside. If you use the same Public FQDN as your Cluster FQDN, then it is not necessary to add the Cluster FQDN to your hostfile.

Request system licenses and apply system license keys

The next step in your initial system configuration is to request Vidyo licenses and then apply the license keys to your system.

Request your Vidyo licenses

After purchasing your license, if you’re running VidyoPortal Virtual Edition or the Hot Standby software option, you’ll receive Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) licenses (removing license dependency to your Vidyo hardware). Otherwise, you’ll receive System ID-based licenses (licenses tied to your Vidyo hardware).

Note By default, you will receive System ID-based license unless you are running VidyoPortal Virtual Edition or using the Hot Standby software option. Using VidyoPortal Virtual Edition or the Hot Standby software option requires an FQDN license. Existing customers with System ID-based licenses using VidyoPortal Virtual Edition or the Hot Standby software option can be converted to an FQDN license by contacting Vidyo Support. System ID-based licenses and FQDN-based licenses were sent to the email address you provided when making your purchase. However, if you do not possess these licenses, you may request them after providing your configured system information and using the procedures in this section.

The Vidyo licensing team usually sends out keys within one business day from the time you submit the required information from the Vidyo website form. Licenses are sent to the email address you provided.

If you have any licensing questions, please contact Vidyo's license team with your MAC address, System ID, and Public FQDN at licenses@vidyo.com.

Request Vidyo system ID-based licenses

System ID-based licenses and FQDN-based licenses were sent to the email address you provided when making your purchase. However, if you do not possess these licenses, you may request them after providing your configured system information and using the procedures in this section.

To request Vidyo System ID-based licenses:

1. If you did not receive an email containing your System ID-based licenses after order processing, request them from the Vidyo license team with your MAC address, System ID, and Public FQDN at licenses@vidyo.com.
   Otherwise, if you did receive an email containing your System ID-based licenses after order processing, proceed by applying the license keys to your system. See Apply the system license keys to your system.
2. Submit your system information using the form on the Vidyo website.

Request Vidyo FQDN-based licenses

If you’re running the VidyoPortal Virtual Edition or the Hot Standby software option and were able to provide your FQDN at the time of purchase, your FQDN-based licenses were sent to the email address you provided at that time. However, if you do not possess these licenses, you may request them after providing your configured system information and using the procedures in this section.

To request Vidyo FQDN-based licenses:

1. If you were unable to provide an FQDN for your license at the time of purchase, contact the Vidyo license team with your MAC address, System ID, and Public FQDN at licenses@vidyo.com.
   Otherwise, if you did provide an FQDN when ordering, your license keys were provided in the email sent to you after order processing. See Apply the system license keys to your system.
2. Submit your system information using the form on the Vidyo website.

Apply the system license keys to your system

Your VidyoPortal ships with factory default licensing. You need to apply your full Vidyo system license keys to access the license quantities and options purchased. The procedure for doing this varies depending on whether you are running the Hot Standby software option. For complete information about applying your licenses, see Apply the system license keys to your system and Apply system license keys to your system using the Hot Standby software option.
