Configuring Cisco Access Routers and the NME-WAE Network Module for ACNS Deployments April 14, 2008 This 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. The WAE network module is a standalone Wide Area Application Engine (WAE) that plugs into a host Cisco access router.
Prerequisites for Installing the Cisco WAE Network Modules • Glossary, page 37 • Related Documentation, page 38 • Obtaining Documentation, Obtaining Support, and Security Guidelines, page 39 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.
Cisco WAE Network Module Hardware Description 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.

Setting Up Cisco WAE Network Modules and Opening a Session 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.

Configure These Settings...
Setting Up Cisco WAE Network Modules and Opening a 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 Cisco WAE Network Modules and Opening a Session Detailed Steps From the host router CLI, perform the following steps: Step 1 Procedure Command Enter privileged EXEC mode on the host router. Enter your password if prompted. enable Example: Router> enable Step 2 Enter global configuration mode on the host router.
Setting Up Cisco WAE Network Modules and Opening a Session Step 8 Procedure Command Save the router running configuration. copy running-config startup-config Example: Router# copy running-config startup-config Step 9 Display the router running configuration so that you can verify interface configurations.
Setting Up Cisco WAE Network Modules and Opening a Session Use the following commands from the Network Module Interface 4. Log in to the network module. 5. Perform configuration or other procedures by using the ACNS CLI. 6. Press Control-Shift-6 x. Use the following command from the host router CLI: 7.
Starting the Cisco WAE Network Module and Displaying Status Procedure Step 5 Step 6 Enter configuration commands on the module as needed. Command Example (Configuration): Configuration command choices are similar to those commands that are available on the router. Access global configuration mode by using the configure terminal command. Enter configuration commands. Then exit global configuration mode with the exit command and save your new configuration with the write command.
Starting the Cisco WAE Network Module and Displaying Status Accessing the ACNS Software on the Network Module You can access the ACNS software that runs on the network module by first accessing one of the following: • The router IOS command-line interface (CLI) to open a console session to the network module • The ACNS Content Distribution Manager graphical user interface (GUI) For details about configuring and maintaining your ACNS network, see the following documents: • Cisco Application and Content
