Hardware Interfaces

The host router and network module use several interfaces for internal and external communication (see Figure 2). Each interface is configurable by using a IOS-like CLI.

The NME-WAE accepts traffic to be optimized on either its internal or external interface but not on both interfaces. Configure either the module internal interface to the router (see callout 3 in Figure 2) or the module external interface (see callout 4 in Figure 2) but not both interfaces.

When using the ACNS Content Distribution Manager GUI for an NME-WAE device, the internal interface to the router is designated as slot 1, port 0 and the external network interface is designated as slot 2, port 0, regardless of the physical slot in which the NME-WAE is installed.
