Cisco Cisco ACE Application Control Engine Module Guía De Instalación

The USB port is intended for future use.

The RJ-45 Console port is used to initially configure the ACE module. The initial ACE module 
configuration must be made through a direct connection to the Console port. After the initial 
configurations, you can make an Secure shell (SSH) or Telnet connection to the module to further 
configure it. 

The Console port uses an 8-pin RJ-45 connector to connect the ACE module to a terminal. Two RJ-45 
console cables are included as part of the ACE module accessory kit. 

The settings for the Console port are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity. The Console port 
settings are fixed and cannot be changed.

The Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) LED is not used. This LED is on the front panel 
of an ACE10-6500-K9 module only.

The following sections describe the system and environmental requirements for the ACE module:

An ACE module occupies one slot in the Catalyst 6500 series switch or Cisco 7600 series router chassis. 
ACE10-6500-K9, ACE20-MOD-K9, and ACE30-MOD-K9 modules can occupy the same chassis, but 
you cannot use an ACE10 or ACE20 with an ACE30 for redudancy. A single chassis supports a 
maximum of four ACE modules.

Before you install the ACE module with preloaded software in the Catalyst 6500 series switch or Cisco 
7600 series router chassis, ensure that the chassis contains the following:

Supervisor Engine 720 with Cisco IOS software and a Multilayer Switch Feature Card (MSFC3). 
The ACE module supports the following models of Supervisor 720 engines: WS-SUP720, 
WS-SUP720-3B, WS-SUP720-3BXL, VS-S720-10G-3C, VS-S720-10G-3CXL.

Any module that has ports to connect to the server and client networks.
