Here is the archive of the TweetChat:

Q: Why can't I use VLAN 1 on the ACE?

A: VLAN 1 is used between ACE mod and Sup. For 4710, VLAN 1 is used between mainboard and optimization daughter-card.

Tip: Now you can securely backup your ACE including config, ssl files, licenses, checkpoints in a single .tgz file.

Q: When will the ACE module support secondary IP addresses?

A: SW A2(3.0) introduced secondary addresses on the ACE with a limit of 4 per interface. A2(3.1) increased the limit to 15.

Tip: Use 'show resource usage all' in Admin context to see if its time to reallocate your physical resources. Look for denies.

Q: How many ACE modules can I put in Catalyst 6500 chassis?

A: The Catalyst 6500 will support up to 4 ACE modules in the chassis.
