Note: In order for the CyberSWITCH to reference an ACE server, the following configuration
steps must first be completed:
•
basic IP routing information must be configured for ACE
• a LAN Network interface must be configured appropriately for the IP network
connected to each LAN port on the system
• at least one WAN Network Interface must be configured for ACE to be operable
After ACE configuration but before attempting to access the ACE Server, both the ACE
Server and the CyberSWITCH need to agree upon a “secret.” After configuring the ACE
server on the CyberSWITCH, issue the
sentry ace
system command. This command will
establish the necessary secret for communications between the two systems.
