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.

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.
