Configuring HTTP and HTTPS Management Traffic
Services
The ACE provides support for remote management using XML over either HTTP
or HTTP to configure, monitor, and manage software objects. You configure
HTTP and HTTPS remote management traffic to the ACE through class maps,
policy maps, and service policies.
The following items summarize the role of each function in configuring HTTP or
HTTPS network management access to the ACE:
•
Class map—Provides the remote network traffic match criteria to permit
HTTP and HTTPS management traffic based on HTTP or HTTPS network
management protocols or host source IP addresses.
•
Policy map—Enables remote network management access for a traffic
classification that matches the criteria listed the class map.
•
Service policy—Activates the policy map and attaches the traffic policy to an
interface or globally on all interfaces.
HTTP or HTTPS sessions are established to the ACE per context. For details on
creating contexts and users, see the
Cisco 4700 Series Application Control Engine
Appliance Virtualization Configuration Guide
