If
you
are
using
ANM
with
an
ACE
module
or
ACE
appliance
and
you
configure
a
named
object
at
the
ACE
CLI,
keep
in

not
support
all
of
the
special
characters
that
the
ACE
CLI
allows
you
to
use
when
configuring
a
named
object.
If
you
use
special
characters
that
ANM
does
not
support,
you
may
not
be
able
to
import
or
manage
the
ACE
using
ANM.
