How To Use The Cisco Ace Module For A Load Balancing System

Transcription

1 Course: Duration: 4 Day Hands-On Lab & Lecture Course Price: $ 2, Learning Credits: 30 Hitachi HiPass: 4 Description: (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: We recommend using at least a Pentium 4 or better and 1 GB of RAM or more. We recommend running Windows XP Professional SP3 or greater (Vista & Windows 7/8). Mac & Linux machines are also supported. All PCs require Internet Explorer 7 or greater, Mozilla FireFox, or Google Chrome. Note: When testing connectivity, Mozilla & Chrome may not be able to fully complete the tests as intended. All students should have administrator rights to their PCs. If you do not have administrator rights to your PC, you at least need permissions to download, install, and run Active-X controls in Internet Explorer or Cisco Any Connect Client. If you are participating in a WebEx event, you should have internet access served by at least a 512K link, a full T1 Connection is recommended. All PCs require the latest Java Runtime Environment, which can be downloaded from If you have any questions or issues with meeting the recommended requirements, please contact us at rlt@skyline-ats.com to discuss.
