Using ACE Hardware Setup
Step 6 If you are configuring an ACE appliance, to group physical ports together on the ACE appliance to form
a logical Layer 2 interface called the port-channel (sometimes known as EtherChannels), click Port
Channel Interfaces under ACE Hardware Setup.
The Port Channel Interfaces window appears (Config > Guided Setup > ACE Hardware Setup > Port
Channel Interfaces).
Note You must configure port channels on both the ACE appliance and the switch that the ACE is
connected to.
Perform the following actions to configure a port channel interface:
a. At the top of the Port Channel Interfaces table, click Add (+) to add a port channel interface, or
choose an existing port channel interface and click Edit to modify it. The New Port Channel
Interface window appears.
Note If you click Edit, not all of the fields can be modified.
b. Enter the port channel interface attributes as described in the “Configuring Port Channel Interfaces”
section on page 10-2.
c. Click Deploy Now to deploy this configuration on the ACE and save your entries to the
running-configuration and startup-configuration files.
d. To display statistics and status information for a port-channel interface, choose the interface from
the Port Channel Interfaces table and click Details. The show interface port-channel CLI
command output appears. See the “Displaying Port Channel Interface Statistics and Status
Information” section on page 10-5 for details.
Step 7 If you are configuring an ACE appliance, to configure one or more of the Gigabit Ethernet ports on the
appliance, click GigabitEthernet Interfaces under ACE Hardware Setup. The GigabitEthernet
Interfaces window appears (Config > Guided Setup > ACE Hardware Setup > GigabitEthernet
Interfaces).
a. Choose an existing Gigabit Ethernet interface and click Edit to modify it.
b. Enter the Gigabit Ethernet physical interface attributes as described in the “Configuring Gigabit
Ethernet Interfaces” section on page 10-5.
c. Click Deploy Now when completed to deploy this configuration on the ACE and save your entries
to the running-configuration and startup-configuration files.
d. Repeat Steps a through c for each Gigabit Ethernet interface that you want to configure.
e. To display statistics and status information for a particular Gigabit Ethernet interface, choose the
interface from the GigabitEthernet Interfaces table, and then click Details. The show interface
gigabitEthernet CLI command output appears. See the “Displaying Gigabit Ethernet Interface
Statistics and Status Information” section on page 10-9 for details.
Step 8 If the ACE is a member of an HA ACE pair, click VLAN Interfaces under ACE Hardware Setup.
The VLAN Interfaces window appears (Config > Guided Setup > ACE Hardware Setup > VLAN
Interfaces).
