1 Course: Implementing the Application Control Engine Service Module Duration: 4 Day Hands-On Lab & Lecture Course Price: $ 2, Learning Credits: 30 Hitachi HiPass: 4 Description: Implementing the Application Control Engine Service Module (ACESM) is a four-day, instructor-led, lecture and lab course that teaches learners how to design, deploy, and optimize intelligent network services using the Cisco ACE Application Control Engine Module for Catalyst 6500 Switches. This course covers all of the key features of the Cisco ACE 2.0 software, including resource virtualization and management, server load balancing (Layer 2 to 4 and Layer 7), Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) termination and offload, and security features like applicationlayer inspection and fixups. To participate in the hands-on labs in this class, you need to bring a laptop computer with the following: Windows 7 or 8.1 or 10 is recommended. Mac OSX 10.6 or greater is supported as well. Intel Celeron or better processors are preferred. 1 GB or more of RAM Browser Requirements: Internet Explorer 10 or greater or Mozilla Firefox. (Safari and Mozilla Firefox for Mac OSX) Note: Our labs currently cannot run on Microsoft Edge (Windows 10) due to it not supporting Extensions/Add-ons or Google Chrome due to Java being removed from the platform itself. All students are required to have administrator rights to their PCs and cannot be logged in to a domain using any Group Policies that will limit their machine's capabilities. If you do not have administrator rights to your PC, you at least need permissions to download, install, and run Cisco Any Connect Client and Java. If you are participating in a WebEx event, it is highly recommended to take this class at a location that has bandwidth speeds at a minimum of 1 Mbps bandwidth speeds. All PCs require the latest Java Runtime Environment, which can be downloaded from If you have any questions or issues with meeting the requirements listed above, please ACESM v2.0 Page 1/6
