Exec Mode Commands

Exec mode commands are those available to you immediately access after you log in to an ACE. Many of these commands are followed by keywords that effectively make them distinct commands (for example, show aaa, show access-list, show accounting, and so on). To increase readability of command syntax, these are presented as separate commands.

You can also execute Exec mode commands from any of the configuration modes using the do command. For example, to display the ACE running configuration from the Exec mode, use the show running-config command. To execute the same command from the configuration mode, use the do show running-config command.

capture

To enable the context packet capture function for packet sniffing and network fault isolation, use the capture command. As part of the packet capture process, you specify whether to capture packets from all interfaces or an individual VLAN interface.

capture buffer_name {{all | {interface vlan number}} access-list name [bufsize buf_size [circular-buffer]]} | remove | start | stop

Syntax Description

buffer_name

Name of the packet capture buffer. The buffer_name argument associates the packet capture with a name. Specify a text string from 1 to 80 alphanumeric characters in length.

all

Specifies that packets from all input interfaces are captured.

interface

Specifies a particular input interface from which to capture packets.

vlan number

Specifies the VLAN identifier associated with the interface.

access-list name

Selects packets to capture based on a specific access list. A packet must pass the access list filters before the packet is stored in the capture buffer. Specify a previously created access list identifier. Enter an unquoted text string with a maximum of 64 characters.

Note Ensure that the access list is for an input interface; input is considered with regards to the direction of the session you wish to capture. If you configure the packet capture on the output interface, the ACE will fail to match any packets.

bufsize buf_size

(Optional) Specifies the buffer size, in kilobytes, used to store the packet capture. The range is from 1 to 2147483647 kilobytes.

circular-buffer

(Optional) Enables the packet capture buffer to overwrite itself, starting from the beginning, when the buffer is full.

remove

Clears the packet capture configuration.

start

Starts the packet capture function. The packet capture function automatically stops when the buffer is full unless you enable the circular buffer function.

stop

Stops the packet capture function.

Modification

3.0(0)A1(2)

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

This command has no user role feature restrictions. For details about role-based access control (RBAC) and user roles, see the Cisco Application Control Engine Module Virtualization Configuration Guide.

The packet capture function enables access-control lists (ACLs) to control what packets are captured by the ACE on the input interface. If the ACLs are selecting an excessive amount of traffic for the packet capture operation, the ACE will see a heavy load, which can cause a degradation in performance. We recommend that you avoid using the packet capture function when high network performance is critical.

The capture packet function works on an individual context basis. The ACE traces only the packets that belong to the context where you execute the capture command. The context ID is passed along with the packet, which can be used to isolate packets that belong to a specific context. To trace the packets for a single specific context, use the changeto command and enter the capture command for the new context.

The ACE does not automatically save the packet capture in a configuration file. To copy the capture buffer information as a file in Flash memory, use the copy capture command.

Examples

To start the packet capture function for CAPTURE1, enter:

host1/Admin# access-list ACL1 line 10 extended permit ip any any
host1/Admin# capture CAPTURE1 interface vlan50 access-list ACL1
host1/Admin# capture CAPTURE1 start

To stop the packet capture function for CAPTURE1, enter:

host1/Admin# capture CAPTURE1 stop

Usage Guidelines

This command requires the changeto feature in your user role (as found in all of the predefined user roles). For details about role-based access control (RBAC) and user roles, see the Cisco Application Control Engine Module Virtualization Configuration Guide.

Only users authorized in the admin context can use the changeto command to navigate between the various contexts. Context administrators, who have access to multiple contexts, must explicitly log in to the other contexts to which they have access.

The command prompt indicates the context you are currently in (see the following example).

The crypto generate csr command generates the CSR in PKCS10 encoded in PEM format and outputs it to the screen. Most major Certificate Authorities have web-based applications that require you to cut and paste the certificate request to the screen. If necessary, you can also cut and paste the CSR to a file. Note that the ACE does not save a copy of the CSR locally.

After submitting your CSR to the CA, you will receive your signed certificate in one to seven business days. When you receive your certificate, use the crypto import command to import the certificate to the ACE.

Examples

To generate a CSR that is based on the CSR parameter set CSR_PARAMS_1 and the RSA key pair in the file MYRSAKEY_1.PEM, enter:

host1/Admin# crypto generate csr CSR_PARAMS_1 MYRSAKEY_1.PEM

crypto generate key [non-exportable] bitsize filename

Syntax Description

non-exportable

(Optional) Marks the key pair file as non-exportable, which means you cannot export the key pair file from the ACE.

bitsize

Key pair security strength. The number of bits in the key pair file defines the size of the RSA key pair used to secure Web transactions. Longer keys produce a more secure implementation by increasing the strength of the RSA security policy. Available entries (in bits) are:

512 (least security)

768 (normal security)

1024 (high security, level 1)

1536 (high security, level 2)

Because a device uses its certificate and corresponding public key together to prove its identity during the SSL handshake, be sure to import both corresponding file types; the certificate file and its corresponding key pair file.

The remote server variables listed after the passphrase variable in the Syntax Description table are only used by the ACE when you select a transport type of ftp, sftp, or tftp (the variables are not used for terminal). If you select one of these transport types and do not define the remote server variables, the ACE prompts you for the variable information.

To view the list of the certificate and key pairs files stored on the ACE for the current context, use the show crypto files command.

Examples

To import the RSA key file MYRSAKEY.PEM from an SFTP server, enter:

host1/Admin# crypto import non-exportable sftp 1.1.1.1 JOESMITH /USR/KEYS/MYRSAKEY.PEM 
MYKEY.PEM
Password: ********

Usage Guidelines

This command requires the fault-tolerant feature in your user role. For details about role-based access control (RBAC) and user roles, see the Cisco Application Control Engine Module Virtualization Configuration Guide.

By using the ft switchover command, you direct the standby group member to statefully become the active member of the FT (fault tolerant) group, thereby causing the failover.

You may need to cause a switchover when you want to make a particular context the standby (for example, for maintenance or a software upgrade on the currently active context). If the standby group member can statefully becoming the active member of the FT group, a switchover occurs. You must configure no preempt to use this command (use the preempt command in FT group configuration mode.)

The ft switchover command exhibits the following behavior, depending on whether you enter the command from the Admin context or a user context:

Admin context—If you specify an FT group ID, then the FT group specified by the group ID switches over. If you do not specify a group ID, then the Admin context switches over.

User context—Because you cannot specify an FT group ID in a user context, the context in which you enter the command switches over.

Examples

To cause a failover from the active module to the standby module of FT group1, enter:

host1/Admin# ft switchover 1

After you have received a demo or permanent software license key in an e-mail from Cisco Systems, you must copy the license file to a network server and then use the copy tftp command in Exec mode to copy the file to the disk0: file system on the ACE.

To update an installed demo license with a permanent license, use the license update command. The demo license is valid for 60 days. To view the expiration of the demo license, use the show license usage command.

To back up license files, use the copy licenses command


Caution When you remove a demo or permanent virtual context license, the ACE removes all user contexts from the Admin running configuration. By removing the user contexts, their running and startup configurations are also removed from the ACE. Before removing any virtual context license, save the Admin running configuration and the user context running configurations to a remote server.

If you uninstall an SSL license, it also brings down the SSL transactions per second (TPS) to 1000 TPS on the ACE.

If you uninstall the module bandwidth license, it brings down the ACE module bandwidth to the default of 4 Gbps on the ACE.

For more information on the types of ACE licenses available and managing the licenses on your ACE, see the Cisco Application Control Engine Module Administration Guide.
