This
chapter

describes

how

to

configure

parameter

maps

on

the

Cisco

Application

Control

Engine

(ACE)
using
Cisco

Application

Networking

Manager

(ANM).
Note
When
naming

ACE

objects

(such

as

a

real

server,

virtual

server,

parameter

map,

class

map,

health

probe,
and
so

on),

enter

an

alphanumeric

string

of

1

to

64

characters,

which

can

include

the

following

special
characters:
underscore

(_),

hyphen

(-),

dot

(.),

and

asterisk

(*)

.

Spaces

ar

e

not


al

lowed.


If
you

are

using

ANM

with

an

ACE

module

or

ACE

appliance

and

you

configure

a

named

object

at

the
ACE
CLI,

keep

in

mind

that

ANM

does

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.
