ACE Workshop (ACEWS)

In this course, you will learn how to design intelligent network services using the Catalyst 6500 Application Control Engine (ACE) Service Module and the Cisco ACE 4710 Appliance.

This course covers all of the key features of the Cisco ACE, including resource virtualization and management, server load balancing (Layer 2-4 and Layer 7), SSL termination and offload, application-layer protocol inspection and fix-ups, and web application optimization features.

This class is intended for:

• Cisco Channel Partners
• Resellers
• Employees
• Customers

You will gain the most from this course if you have a basic understanding of the following topics:

• TCP/IP protocol
• HTTP and SSL protocols
• N-Tier application architecture
• Server load-balancing

After attending this course, you will be able to:

• Describe IP application delivery with the ACE module
• Describe the structure and function of the Modular Policy CLI statements used to configure ACE features
• Describe the capabilities the ACE module used to load balance IP-based applications
• Identify the layer-7 processing options used to provide advanced application networking
• Create new contexts and resource classes
• Create class maps and server farms
• Configure an ACE context load balance traffic flow
• Configure an ACE context to monitor real servers
• Implement fixups and inspection
• Describe the ACE features that provide IP application security
• Implement SSL termination
• Configure network address translations
• Describe the high availability features of the ACE module
• Configure an ACE context to perform a variety of functions in an integrated environment
• Troubleshoot common SLB configuration errors
