Configuring Cisco Access Routers and the NME-WAE Network Module for ACNS Deployments
June 9, 2009This document describes how to configure the Cisco access router and the Cisco Wide Area Application Engine network module (NME-WAE) for Application and Content Networking System (ACNS) software deployments.
Note
ACNS software version 5.5.7 or later is required for NM-502 NME platform support. ACNS software version 5.5.9 or later is required for NM-522 NME platform support.
The WAE network module is a standalone Wide Area Application Engine (WAE) that plugs into a host Cisco access router. The host router runs Cisco IOS software, while the WAE network module has its own startup and run-time configurations that are independent of the IOS configuration on the router.
ACNS software is a Linux-based application that resides on the WAE network module. ACNS software offers the following content-based services:
•
Content caching and hosting
•
Proxy services
•
Content replication
•
Video streaming
The host router and the network module combined provide a router-integrated application platform for accelerating data-intensive applications.

Prerequisites for Installing the Cisco WAE Network Modules
The prerequisites for installing the Cisco WAE network module in the access router are as follows:
•
Plan software upgrades or downgrades for times when you can take all applications that run on the host router offline.
•
Ensure that you have the appropriate Cisco access router to serve as the host router. The WAE network module is supported on the following Cisco access routers:
–
2811, 2821, and 2851
–
3725, 3825, and 3845
•
Ensure that the router is running IOS Release 12.4(9)T or 12.4(9)T1 (recommended) by using the show version command.
When minimum release requirements are met, you can change images on either the router or the network modules without affecting performance.
•
For information about installing the NME-WAE, see the Quick Start Guide: Network Modules for Cisco Access Routers and Cisco Network Modules and Interface Cards Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information.
•
You need the slot and unit numbers for the "Setting Up Network Module Interfaces" section and the "Opening and Closing a Network Module Session" section. Make a note of the network module location in the host router:
–
slot—Slot number of the network module in the router chassis. After you install the module, you can obtain this information from the router show running-config command output.
–
unit—Number of the daughter card on the module. This value is always 0.
•
You need an accessible FTP or TFTP file server.
–
Use an FTP file server for installations, backups, and restores.
–
Use a TFTP file server (on the FTP-file-server machine) for boothelper operations to recover from a failed installation.
Restrictions for Cisco WAE Network Modules
The restrictions for the Cisco WAE network modules are as follows:
•
You may perform a software upgrade or downgrade only on an inactive appliance. Plan upgrades or downgrades for times when you can take all applications that run on the host router out of service or offline.
•
All WAE appliances and network modules that are in your network must be running the same version of the ACNS software.
•
Network module software configurations can only be performed by using a console that connects to a single serial-port console port on the host router.
Because the network module does not have an external console port, you must configure the network module by initiating a Telnet session or by initiating a configuration session from the router CLI.
•
After initial setup, which requires using router configuration commands, you can configure the NME-WAE in the same manner as other ACNS devices, with the following exceptions:
–
The NME-WAE cannot serve as a Content Distribution Manager for other ACNS devices.
–
The NME-WAE does not support device mode configuration. The device mode configuration prompt has been removed from the NME-WAE startup script.
–
Websense URL-filtering is not supported on the NME-WAE.
•
ACNS software does not support the following hardware-related features on the network module:
–
USB port
–
Compact Flash utilization LED
–
Software reset button

Figure 1 NME-WAE Faceplate and LEDs
Hardware Interfaces
The host router and network module use several interfaces for internal and external communication (see Figure 2). Each interface is configurable by using a IOS-like CLI.
Figure 2 Router and Network Module Interface
The NME-WAE accepts traffic to be optimized on either its internal or external interface but not on both interfaces. Configure either the module internal interface to the router (see callout 3 in Figure 2) or the module external interface (see callout 4 in Figure 2) but not both interfaces.
When using the ACNS Content Distribution Manager GUI for an NME-WAE device, the internal interface to the router is designated as slot 1, port 0 and the external network interface is designated as slot 2, port 0, regardless of the physical slot in which the NME-WAE is installed.
Setting Up Cisco WAE Network Modules and Opening a Session
This section contains the following topics:
•
Setting Up Network Module Interfaces
•
Opening and Closing a Network Module Session
If you lose power or connection during any of the following procedures, the software usually detects the interruption and tries to recover. If it fails to recover, reinstall the software using the boothelper.
You can configure basic network parameters for the network module by using the CLI, which is described in this document. For additional configuration instructions, see the ACNS online help that is included with the software application.
Setting Up Network Module Interfaces
Your first configuration task is to configure the network module interfaces to the host router and to its external links. You use these interfaces to access the module for installing and configuring the ACNS software application.
This section includes the following topics:
The first several steps open the host router CLI to the module. The subsequent steps configure the interface.
Summary Steps
The network module is referred to as the integrated service engine (ISE) on the IOS CLI.
From the host router CLI, use the following commands:
1.
enable
2.
configure terminal
3.
interface integrated-service-engine slot/0
4.
ip address router-side-ip-address subnet-mask
5.
service-module ip address module-side-ip-address subnet-mask
or
service-module external ip address module-side-ip-address subnet-mask
6.
service-module ip default-gateway gateway-ip-address

Once you have set up your network interfaces, you can open and close a session on the network module. Opening a session is the equivalent of accessing an ACNS appliance from its console. You can conduct only one session at a time.
The procedure listed below uses the service-module integrated-service-engine slot/0 session command to open a session. Alternatively, you can access the network module console by telneting to a specific port at the network module IP address, depending on the slot where the network module is installed, as follows:
•
slot 1—telnet to port 2066
•
slot 2—telnet to port 2130
•
slot 3—telnet to port 2194
•
slot 4—telnet to port 2258
This section includes the following topics:
