Preparing an Intelligent Virtual Execution - Server appliance to send a management request in a NAT deployment

Use the commands in this section to prepare an appliance in a NAT deployment to send a request for management to the Central Management System appliance.

To prepare to send a request:

Go to CLI configuration mode:

appl-hostname > enable
appl-hostname # configure terminal

Enable automatic rendezvous attempts:
```
appl-hostname (config) # cmc rendezvous client auto
```
Important
After automatic rendezvous is enabled, when the requesting Intelligent Virtual Execution - Server appliance is behind a NAT gateway, the local IP address of the appliance will be included in the request instead of the mapped address. You must prevent the local IP address of the appliance from being part of the request, and then force the request to be sent again using the mapped address. These commands are included in the relevant procedures.
Verify that the auto connect feature is enabled:
1. View Intelligent Virtual Execution - Server (client) information:
```
appl-hostname (config) # show cmc client
```
2. If Autoconnect: no is shown, enable auto connect:
```
appl-hostname (config) # cmc client connection auto
```
Save your changes.
```
hostname (config) # write memory
```
