Cisco ACE 4700 Series Application Control Engine Appliance Device Manager GUI Quick Configuration Note
Software Version A1(7)
This document describes how to initially configure the Cisco 4700 Series Application Control Engine (ACE) appliance using the Device Manager graphical user interface (GUI) to allow traffic and perform basic Layer 7 virtual IP (VIP) load balancing among multiple real servers. By completing the quick configuration procedures in this document, your ACE will be able to perform the following tasks:
•
Receive network traffic
•Allow network connectivity
•Match VIP-destined traffic flows
•Load-balance traffic to a server farm
Before performing the procedures in this document, ensure that you have completed the ACE installation instructions as described in the Cisco Application Control Engine Appliance Hardware Installation Guide.
Note If you intend to use the command-line interface (CLI) to configure the ACE, see the Cisco 4700 Series Application Control Engine Appliance CLI Quick Configuration Note.

ACE Features and Functionality Overview
The ACE performs high-performance server load balancing (SLB) among groups of servers, server farms, firewalls, and other network devices, based on Layer 3 and Layer 4 through Layer 7 packet information. The ACE provides the following major features and functionality. For details, see the Online Help system provided with the GUI and the Cisco 4700 Series Application Control Engine Appliance Device Manager GUI Configuration Guide.
•Ethernet Interfaces—The ACE provides four physical Ethernet ports that provide an interface for connecting to 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1000-Mbps networks. Each Layer 2 Ethernet port supports autonegotiate, full-duplex, or half-duplex operation on an Ethernet LAN and can carry traffic within a designated VLAN interface.
•Routing and Bridging—You configure the corresponding VLAN interfaces on the ACE as either routed or bridged. When you configure an IP address on an interface, the ACE automatically configures it as a routed mode interface. When you configure a bridge group on an interface VLAN, the ACE automatically configures it as a bridged interface.
•Traffic Policies—The ACE allows you to perform advanced administration tasks such as using traffic policies to classify traffic flow and the action to take for the type of traffic. Traffic policies consist of class maps, policy maps, and service policies.
•Redundancy—Redundancy provides fault tolerance for the stateful switchover of flow and offers increased uptime for a more robust network.
•Virtualization—Virtualization allows you to manage ACE system resources and users and the services provided to your customers. Multiple contexts use virtualization to partition your ACE into multiple virtual devices or contexts.
•Server Load Balancing— Server load balancing (SLB) on the ACE provides network traffic policies for SLB, real servers and server farms, health monitoring through probes, and firewall load balancing. HTTP compression is also supported.
•ACE Security Features—The ACE contains several security features including ACLs, NAT, user authentication and accounting, HTTP deep packet inspection, FTP command request inspection, and application protocol inspection of DNS, HTTP, ICMP, or RTSP.
•Secure Sockets Layer—The SSL protocol on the ACE provides encryption technology for the Internet, ensuring secure transactions.
•Application Acceleration and Optimization—The ACE includes several optimization technologies to accelerate web application performance, optimize network performance, and improve access to critical business information.
•Device Manager GUI Interface—The ACE Device Manager GUI resides in Flash memory on the appliance to provide a browser-based interface for configuring and managing the ACE.
•Command-Line Interface—The CLI is a line-oriented user interface that provides commands for configuring, managing, and monitoring the ACE.
Configuration Overview
The following steps summarize the tasks that are required to perform a basic configuration of an ACE network:
1. Connect to the ACE and run the setup script to establish connectivity through a Gigabit Ethernet port and a management VLAN.
2. Log into the ACE Device Manager GUI.
3. Configure a second Gigabit Ethernet port for server-side connectivity.
4. Configure a server-side VLAN interface.
5. Create a virtual server and set up a default load-balancing service.
6. Confirm the server operational status.
The configuration procedures in this document describe a two-VLAN networking configuration that logically distinguishes the VLAN that faces the client-side and the VLAN that connects to the servers. Figure 1 shows the two-VLAN networking configuration example used in this document.
Note The procedures in this document assume that your network configuration includes two servers. Ensure that you specify the IP address assigned to the server-side VLAN (see the "Configuring the Server-Side VLAN Interface" section) as the default route on the physical real servers.
Figure 1 Two-VLAN (Client-Side and Server-Side) Networking Configuration
Keep in mind that the network configuration described in this document is suitable for a test environment but should never be used in production for the following reasons:
•The management VLAN interface should not also be used as the client interface of the ACE.
•An extended IP access list that allows IP traffic originating from any other host addresses should never be applied on a management interface of the ACE
•For security reasons, always change the administrative password.
•If you configure virtualization, we recommend that you do not configure server load balancing in the Admin virtual context and only in the various configured user virtual contexts. We recommend that you maintain a clean Admin virtual context which primarily deals with resource allocation, VLAN allocation, and Fault Tolerance configuration, and so on.
Establishing a Console Connection on the ACE
The ACE has one standard RS-232 serial port located on its rear panel that operates as the console port. You establish a direct serial connection between your terminal or a PC and the ACE by making a serial connection to this console port. The integrated serial port uses a 9-pin male D-shell connector. Use a straight-through cable to connect the ACE to the terminal or a PC. For instructions on connecting a console cable to your ACE appliance, see the Cisco Application Control Engine Appliance Hardware Installation Guide.
Any device connected to this port must be capable of asynchronous transmission. Connection requires a terminal configured as 9600 baud, 8 data bits, hardware flow control on, 1 stop bit, no parity.
Note Only the Admin context is accessible through the console port; all other contexts can be reached through Telnet or SSH sessions on the Ethernet ports.
Once connected, you can use any terminal communications application to access the ACE Device Manager (or the ACE CLI). The following procedure uses HyperTerminal for Windows.
To access the ACE by using a direct serial connection, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Launch HyperTerminal. The Connection Description window appears.
Step 2 Enter a name for your session in the Name field.
Step 3 Click OK. The Connect To window appears.
Step 4 From the drop-down list, choose the COM port to which the device is connected.
Step 5 Click OK. The Port Properties window appears.
Step 6 Set the port properties:
•Baud Rate = 9600
•Data Bits = 8
•Hardware Flow Control = On
•Parity = none
•Stop Bits = 1
Step 7 Click OK to connect.
Step 8 Press Enter to access the CLI prompt.
Using the Setup Script to Enable Connectivity
When you boot the ACE for the first time and the ACE does not detect a startup-configuration file, a setup script guides you through the process of configuring a management VLAN on the ACE through one of its Gigabit Ethernet ports to enable connectivity to the Device Manager GUI. After you specify a Gigabit Ethernet port, port mode, and management VLAN, the setup script automatically applies the following default configuration:
•Management VLAN allocated to the specified Ethernet port.
•Extended IP access list that allows IP traffic originating from any other host addresses.
•Traffic classification (class map and policy map) created for management protocols HTTP, HTTPS, ICMP, SSH, Telnet, and XML-HTTPS. HTTPS is dedicated for connectivity with the Device Manager GUI.
•VLAN interface configured on the ACE and a policy map assigned to the VLAN interface.
The ACE provides a default answer in brackets [ ] for each question in the setup script. To accept a default configuration prompt, press Enter, and the ACE accepts the setting. To skip the remaining configuration prompts, press Ctrl-C any time during the configuration sequence.
Note The script configuration process described in this section is identical to the script configuration process performed using the setup CLI command.
To configure the ACE from the setup script, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Ensure that you have established a direct serial connection between your terminal or a PC and the ACE (see the "Establishing a Console Connection on the ACE" section).
Step 2 Press the power button on the front of the ACE and the boot process occurs. See the Cisco Application Control Engine Appliance Hardware Installation Guide for details.
Step 3 At the login prompt, log into the ACE by entering the login username and password. By default, the username and password are admin. For example, enter:
---- Basic System Configuration Dialog ----
This setup utility will guide you through the basic configuration of
the system. Setup configures only enough connectivity to the
ACE appliance Device Manager GUI of the system.
*Note: setup is mainly used for configuring the system initially,
when no configuration is present. So setup always assumes system
defaults and not the current system configuration values.
Press Enter at anytime to skip a dialog. Use ctrl-c at anytime
to skip the remaining dialogs.
Would you like to enter the basic configuration dialog (yes/no):
Step 4 At the prompt "Would you like to enter the basic configuration dialog? (yes/no):", type yes to continue the setup.
Step 5 At the prompt "Which port is used to carry Management vlan (1 - 4)? [1]:", specify the Ethernet port that you want to use to access the Device Manager GUI. Valid entries are 1 through 4. The default is Ethernet port 1. For this example configuration, specify 2 for Ethernet port 2. Press Enter. Ethernet interface port 2 will be used as both the management port and for client-side connectivity.
Step 6 At the prompt "Configure GigabitEthernet port mode (Access/Trunk) [Trunk]:", identify whether the Ethernet port is to be configured as a VLAN access port or as a VLAN trunk port. The default is Trunk. For this example configuration, leave this selection set to Trunk. Press Enter.
Step 7 At the prompt "Which vlan is used as Management vlan (2 - 4094)? [10]:", specify the number that you want to assign to the VLAN interface. Valid values are from 2 to 4094. The default is VLAN 10. For this example configuration, specify 102 for VLAN 102. Press Enter.
Step 8 At the prompt "What is the Management vlan ip address [192.168.1.10]:", assign an IP address to the management VLAN interface. When you assign an IP address to a VLAN interface, the ACE automatically makes it a routed mode interface. For this example configuration, the IP address is 172.16.2.151. Press Enter.
Step 9 At the prompt "What is the Management vlan ip netmask [255.255.255.0]:", assign a subnet mask to the management VLAN interface. For this example configuration, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. Press Enter.
Step 10 At the prompt "Configure the default gateway? (yes/no) [y]:", choose whether to assign an IP address of the gateway router (the next-hop address for this route). If you specify yes, enter the IP address of the default gateway. The gateway address must be in the same network as specified in the IP address for a VLAN interface. For this example configuration, the default gateway is 172.16.2.1. Press Enter.
Step 11 After you configure the Ethernet port, port mode, and management VLAN, the setup script automatically applies the appropriate configuration:
The following configuration will be applied:
interface gigabitEthernet 1/2
switchport trunk allowed vlan 102
access-list ALL extended permit ip any any
class-map type management match-any remote_access
match protocol xml-https any
match protocol telnet any
policy-map type management first-match remote_mgmt_allow_policy
ip address 172.16.2.151 255.255.255.0
service-policy input remote_mgmt_allow_policy
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.16.2.1
Step 12 At the prompt "Would you like to edit the configuration? (yes/no) [n]:", enter one of the following replies:
•Type y to modify the configuration at the CLI.
•Type n to accept the configuration without any additional changes. This setting is the default.
Step 13 At the prompt "Use this configuration? (yes/no) [y]:", enter one of the following replies:
•Type y to instruct the ACE to boot using the newly created running-configuration file. This setting is the default.
•Type n to bypass using the newly created running-configuration file and boot with an empty configuration.
Step 14 At the prompt "Would you like to save the running-config to startup-config? (yes/no) [n]:", enter one of the following replies:
•Type y to save the running-configuration to the startup-configuration file.
•Type n to bypass saving the running-configuration to the startup-configuration file.
Note If you choose no to bypass saving the running-configuration to the startup-configuration file, after a reboot of the ACE you may loose all of the setup script configuration changes, which will require you to rerun the setup script before you can access the ACE Device Manager GUI.
Logging Into the Device Manager GUI
You access the ACE Device Manager GUI through a web-based interface. To log in to the Device Manager, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Use a web browser and navigate to the Device Manager login screen by typing the IP address or hostname of the ACE. Enter the secure HTTP address of your ACE in the address field. For example, enter:
https://172.16.2.151/ or https://ace_name/
Step 2 Click Yes at the prompt to accept (trust) and install the signed certificate from Cisco Systems, Inc. To avoid approving the signed certificate every time you log in to the Device Manager, accept the certificate. For instructions on trusting certificates from a particular owner or website, see the online help included with your browser.
The Device Manager GUI Login screen appears (Figure 2).

Configuring a Virtual Server for Layer 7 Load Balancing
In a load-balancing environment, a virtual server is a construct that allows multiple physical servers to appear as one for load-balancing purposes. A virtual server is bound to physical services running on real servers in a server farm and uses IP address and port information to distribute incoming client requests to the servers in the server farm according to a specified load-balancing algorithm.
Real servers are dedicated physical servers that you typically configure in groups called server farms. These servers provide services to clients, for example, HTTP or XML content. You identify real servers with names and characterize them with IP addresses, connection limits, and weight values.
Note This procedure assumes that your network configuration includes two servers. Ensure that you specify the IP address assigned to the server-side VLAN as the default route on the physical real servers (see the "Configuring the Server-Side VLAN Interface" section).
To add virtual servers to the ACE Device Manager for load-balancing purposes, perform the following steps:
Step 1 Choose Config > Virtual Contexts. The All Virtual Contexts table appears (see Figure 3).
Step 2 Choose the Admin context, then choose Load Balancing > Virtual Servers to create a virtual server. The Virtual Servers table appears (Figure 10).
Figure 10 Virtual Servers Table
Step 3 Click Add () to add a new virtual server. The Virtual Server configuration screen appears (Figure 11). The Properties configuration subset is open by default.
The Virtual Server configuration screen includes with several configuration subsets. The subsets that you see depend on whether you use the Basic View or the Advanced View and on the configuration entries that you make in the Properties subset. For this example, choose Basic View by using the View object selector at the top of the configuration pane.

Step 14 Open a second browser window and attempt to "hit" the VIP. For example, enter:
This action will force the ACE to perform VIP load balancing with the two real servers.
Viewing Server Status Information
After you have created a virtual server, you can view the status information associated with the configured virtual server and real servers. This section contains the following procedures:
•Viewing Virtual Server Information
•Viewing Real Server Information
Viewing Virtual Server Information
To view status information associated with the configured virtual server, perform the following procedure:
1. Choose Config > Operations > Virtual Servers to view all virtual servers. The Virtual Servers table appears (Figure 16) with the following information for each server:
–Server name, grouped by virtual context
–Configured state
–VIP address
–Port
–VLANs
–Server farms
–Virtual context
Figure 16 Virtual Servers Table
2. Verify that the virtual server is in the Inservice state. This state indicates that the virtual server is in use. If a virtual server is in a different State (for example, Failed or Out of Service), verify that you have properly configured the virtual server as described in the "Configuring a Virtual Server for Layer 7 Load Balancing" section.
3. Click the Details button at the bottom of the screen. The Virtual Servers Details screen appears (Figure 16) displaying the virtual server status.
Figure 17 Virtual Servers Details Page
Viewing Real Server Information
To view status information associated with the configured real servers, perform the following procedure:
Step 1 Choose Config > Operations > Real Servers. The Real Servers table appears (Figure 18) with the following information:
•Real server name
•IP address
•Port
•Configured status, such as In Service, Out of Service, or In Service Standby
•Current operational state
•Number of current connections
•Server weight
•Associated server farm
•Associated virtual context
Figure 18 Real Servers Table
Step 2 Verify that both real servers (rserv1 and rserv2) are in the Inservice state. This state indicates a server is in use as a destination for server load balancing. If a real server is in a different state (for example, Failed or Out of Service), verify that you have properly performed the following:
•Configured load balancing for the named real servers as described in the "Configuring a Virtual Server for Layer 7 Load Balancing" section.
•Activated the real server as described in the "Activating a Real Server" section. If the state still indicates a Failed or Out of Service state, this failure could be due to networking issues.
Note Note that the quick configuration procedures in this document do not use health monitoring probes to check the health and availability of a real server. With probes configured, the ACE periodically sends a probe to the real server. Depending on the server response, the ACE determines whether to include the server in its load-balancing decision. The State field would inform you when your real servers are in a probe failed state.The ACE appliance can take a real server out of service due to a probe failure. In this instance, no new connections will be assigned to this server until a probe to this server succeeds.
Activating a Real Server
If it is necessary for you to activate a real server, perform the following procedure:
Step 1 Choose Config > Operations > Real Servers. The Real Servers table appears (Figure 18).
Step 2 Choose the servers that you want to activate, then click Activate. The Activate Server screen appears.
Step 3 In the Task field, confirm that this is the server that you want to activate.
Step 4 In the Reason field, enter a reason for this action. Do not enter a password in this field.
Step 5 Click Deploy Now to activate the server and to return to the Real Servers table. The server appears in the table with the status Inservice.
If the state still indicates a Failed or Out of Service state, this failure could be due to networking issues.
