The name which I have given in "CISCOACS" and the path is /home/jajish/vmware/CISCOACS.

Enter the name and path according to your requirements. This screen and path location may look different if you are using a Windows Operating System. Step 6: In "Name the Virtual Machine" page, enter the name of the new Virtual Machine and select the location to save the Virtual Machine.

Step 5: In the "Select a Guest Operating System" screen, select Linux as the Guest Operating System and Version as CentOS, as shown below. Step 4: In the "Guest Operating System Installation" screen, select "I will install the operating system later" and click "Next". I have selected the default values in this case. Step 3: In VMware virtual machine hardware compatibility page, select the required compatibility. Step 2: In "New Virtual Machine Wizard", click "Next". Step 1: Click "File" menu in VMware workstation and select "New Virtual Machine." from the "File" menu. Create a Virtual Machine for Cisco Secure ACS 5.4 If you know the concepts of virtualization, the following steps are almost identical in different virtualization platforms. Cisco Secure ACS 5.4 doesn’t even show you the bash shell, but a Cisco IOS CLI similar shell. You may be wondering what is the relation between CentOS Linux and Cisco Secure ACS 5.4? Well, what I believe is Cisco Secure ACS 5.4 is a hardened, trimmed, "made for security" version of CentOS Linux (CentOS Linux is a "trademark removed" version of RedHat Enterprise Linux made from RHEL source code), with the components only required for Cisco Secure ACS 5.4. On top of CentOS Linux Host Operating System, we are now creating a CentOS Guest Operating System for Cisco Secure ACS 5.4. VMware workstation version which I am using for the below lab is 8 and the Host Operating System is CentOS Linux. The purpose of this lesson is only to learn how to install Cisco Secure ACS 5.4 installation and how to connect it from other machines using Microsoft Internet Explorer browser. Following installation is a Cisco Secure ACS 5.4 installation on a VMware workstation.
