Configuring Virtual Contexts
Cisco Application Control Engine Appliance Device Manager (ACE Appliance Device Manager)
provides a number of options for creating, configuring, and managing ACE appliances.
Note When you use the ACE CLI to configure named objects (such as a real server, virtual server, parameter
map, class map, health probe, and so on), consider that the Device Manager (DM) supports object names
with an alphanumeric string of 1 to 64 characters, which can include the following special characters:
underscore (_), hyphen (-), dot (.), and asterisk (*). Spaces are not allowed.
If you use the ACE CLI to configure a named object with special characters that the DM does not
support, you may not be able to configure the ACE using DM.
