ACE software A5(1.0)

[mma]

Came across the document: Routing and Bridging Guide, Cisco ACE Application Control Engine version software A5(1.0)

On page A-6, section Protocols and Applications, there is a list of TCP/UDP port numbers and their corresponding literal. Also, there is a statement states that either can be entered in ACE commands - what does that mean?

Hi,

It means that you can use either literal values or port numbers. For example:

switch/Test(config-cmap)# match virtual-address 1.1.1.1 tcp eq www

or

switch/Test(config-cmap)# match virtual-address 1.1.1.1 tcp eq 80

www is for port 80 and anyone can be used as shown above.

I hope that was what you referreing to above. If not please ignore!

Regards,

Kanwal

So, is it safe to say that this software version A5(1.0) can load balance all the protocols, either TCP or UDP, listed?

[Jorge Bejarano]

Hello MMA,

Correct, all those protocols which are listed there should be supported.

How about ports that are not listed such as 8080 which is commonly used as alternative to port 80?

[Jorge Bejarano]

Hi,

For those you need to manually type the port like this:

(config)# class-map match-any TESTING

(config-cmap)# match virtual-address 10.10.10.10 tcp eq 8080

Mark it if you consider it was useful for you.

Hope this helps
