task,

you

can

return

to

the

ACE

Hardware

window

to

configure

the
required
VLANs.

See

the

“Using

ACE

Hardware

Setup”

section

When
specifying

the

resource

class

for
the
virtual

context,

choose

the

resource

class

that
you
created
or
specified

in

Step

Note
If
you

are

unsure

of

the

resource
class
to

use

for

this
virtual
context,

later

time.

•
If
HA

has

been

correctly

configured

for
this

ACE

device,

the

High

Availability

checkbox

will

be
checked.
If

the

checkbox

is

unchecked,

check

it

to

instruct

ANM

to

automatically

configure
synchronization
for

this

virtual

context.
Note
The
High

Availability

checkbox

is

available

only

if

HA

Peering
has
previously

been
completed
for

the

ACE

hardware.

•
If
you

want

to

set

up
a
separate

management

VLAN

interface
for
the

virtual

context,
under
Management
Settings,

configure

the

management

interface

for

this

virtual

context

and

create

an
admin
user.

Each

context

also

has

its

own

management

VLAN

that

you

can

access

using

the

ANM
GUI.
In

this

case,

you

would

assign

an

independent

VLAN

and

IP

address

for

management

traffic
to
access

the

virtual

context.
Step

To
edit

the

load-balancing

configuration

for

a

virtual

context,

continue

the

Application

Setup
task.
