Configuring Cisco Access Routers and the

NME-WAE Network Module for ACNS

Deployments

April 14, 2008

This document describes how to configure the Cisco access router and the Cisco Wide Area Application Engine network module (NME-WAE) for Application and Content Networking System (ACNS) software deployments.

The WAE network module is a standalone Wide Area Application Engine (WAE) that plugs into a host Cisco access router. The host router runs Cisco IOS software, while the WAE network module has its own startup and run-time configurations that are independent of the IOS configuration on the router.

ACNS software is a Linux-based application that resides on the WAE network module. ACNS software offers the following content-based services:

•Content caching and hosting

•Proxy services

•Content replication

•Video streaming

The host router and the network module combined provide a router-integrated application platform for accelerating data-intensive applications.
