are

configuring
the
ACE,
changes

to

the

physical

interfaces

(including

Gigabit

Ethernet
ports
or

port

channels)

can

result

in

a

loss

of

connectivity

between

ANM

and

the

ACE.

Use

caution
when
following

the

ACE

Hardware

Setup

task

if

you

are

modifying

the

interface

that

management
traffic
is

traversing.
