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.
