1 About the Cisco ACE XML Gateway

Thank you for purchasing the Cisco ACE XML Gateway, a component of the Cisco Application

Control Engine (ACE) family of products.

The Cisco ACE XML Gateway brings application intelligence to the network. The Cisco ACE XML

Gateway is a high-performance, content-aware message processing engine that enables you to secure,

monitor, and accelerate traffic in a Web services network. In particular, it eases and speeds the task of

deploying services based on SOAP and other XML (Extensible Markup Language) formats.

2 Verifying the Package Contents

Verify the contents of the packing box to ensure that you have received all items necessary to install

your Cisco ACE XML Gateway appliance. The items include:

• Cisco ACE XML Gateway appliance

• Accessory kit with network cables and documentation

• Rack mounting hardware kit

• AC power cords

• Optionally, an nCipher card reader and cards (for the FIPS cryptographic card option)

If any item is missing or damaged, contact your Cisco representative or reseller for instructions.

Save the packing material in case you need to repack the unit.

3 Before Starting

You will need to use a serial console or keyboard/monitor/mouse connected to the appliance to

perform the initial set up of the Cisco ACE XML Gateway. Once the initial configuration is complete,

you can use a standard (straight-through) Ethernet Category 5 network cable with RJ-45 connectors

to connect the interfaces of the appliance to the network.

Figure 1 shows the connector locations on the back panel of the ACE XML Gateway and Manager

appliance.

Figure 1 Cisco ACE XML appliance back panel

3456

The back panel features highlighted in the figure are:

1. iLO 2 NIC

2. NIC 3 (eth0) and NIC 4 (eth1)

3. Serial connector

4. Video connector

5. Integrated NIC 1 (eth2) and NIC 2 (eth3)

6. Power supply bays 1 and 2

Notice that there are five NIC connectors on the back panel. However, the NIC connector shown in

callout 1 is intended for Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2) connectivity only, and not service traffic. The

iLO module can be used for certain maintenance tasks, such as remotely starting and stopping the

appliance. For more information on using the iLO module to access the appliance, contact your Cisco

ACE XML Gateway support representative.

The Cisco ACE XML Gateway appliance occupies one rack unit (1U). The dimensions of the appliance

are as follows:

• Height: 4.32 cm (1.70 in)

• Depth: 69.22 cm (27.25 in)

• Width: 42.62 cm (16.78 in)

For detailed information on installing the appliance in a rack, refer to the documentation provided by

the manufacturer of the rack hardware.

4 Performing the Initial Setup

The first step in using the Cisco ACE XML Gateway is installing the appliance on your network. To

do so, you need to configure a network interface on the appliance, along with some basic operating

settings for the appliance. When finished, you will be able to access the appliance shell interface using

a network-based client tool, such as PuTTY.

Note This document provides an overview of the setup procedure. For complete information, see

the Cisco ACE XML Gateway Installation and Administration Guide.

The initial configuration of the appliance is accomplished from its shell environment. The ACE XML

Gateway provides a menu-based shell interface that eases the task of setting the initial configuration

for the appliance.

To access the system shell, follow these steps:

Step 1 With the appliance turned off, connect an input device using one of these methods:

• By direct console connection. Use the video connectors on the front and back panels of

the appliance to connect a monitor to the appliance. The back panel contains keyboard

and mouse connectors, and the front panel has USB ports that can accept a USB mouse

and keyboard. Use any of these connectors to connect a monitor and keyboard or KVM

device to the appliance.

• By serial connection. To access the system shell by serial connection, connect a

workstation (laptop or desktop computer) by serial cable to the serial connector on the

back panel.

Step 2 If using a serial connection to the appliance, in the communications software on the attached

workstation, configure a connection with these settings:

• Bits per second: 9600

• Data bits: 8

• Parity: None

• Stop bits: 1

• Flow Control: None

The emulation mode for the connection should be VT100.

Step 3 Power up the appliance. The power button appears on the right side of the front panel. After

the appliance boots up, a login prompt appears.

Step 4 Log in using the default username and password (root/swordfish) or using a password

specifically provided to you. If using a serial connection, establish the connection with the

communication software.

If you used the default username and password to log in, you are prompted to enter a new password.

Follow the instructions on the screen to change your default password.

When finished, the Main Menu appears. From there, you can perform the initial configuration of the

appliance. These tasks include configuring the network interface, specifying the operating mode of the

appliance, setting the system clock, and more. For instructions, see the Cisco ACE XML Gateway

Installation and Administrator’s Guide.
