Task Flow for Configuring XML

Follow these steps to configure XML usage with the ACE:
If you are operating in multiple contexts, observe the CLI prompt to verify that you are operating in the
Step 1
desired context. If necessary, log directly in to, or change to, the correct context.
host1/Admin# changeto C1
host1/C1#
The rest of the examples in this table use the Admin context, unless otherwise specified. For details on
creating contexts, see the Cisco 4700 Series Application Control Engine Appliance Virtualization
Configuration Guide.
Enter configuration mode.
Step 2
host1/Admin# config
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
host1/Admin(config)#
Create a Layer 3 and Layer 4 class map to classify the HTTP or HTTPS management traffic that can be
Step 3
received by the ACE.
host1/Admin(config)# class-map type management match-all XML-HTTPS-ALLOW_CLASS
host1/Admin(config-cmap-mgmt)# match protocol xml-https source-address 192.168.1.1
255.255.255.255
host1/Admin(config-cmap-mgmt)# exit
Configure a Layer 3 and Layer 4 HTTP or HTTPS traffic management policy.
Step 4
host1/Admin(config) # policy-map type management first-match MGMT_XML-HTTPS_POLICY
host1/Admin(config-pmap-mgmt) # class XML-HTTPS-ALLOW_CLASS
host1/Admin(config-pmap-mgmt-c) # permit
host1/Admin(config-pmap-mgmt-c) # exit
Attach the traffic policy to a single interface or globally on all VLAN interfaces associated with a
Step 5
context, and specify the direction in which the policy should be applied. For example, to specify an
interface VLAN and apply multiple service policies to the VLAN, enter:
host1/Admin(config)# interface vlan50
host1/Admin(config-if)# ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.0.0
host1/Admin(config-if)# service-policy input MGMT_XML-HTTPS_POLICY
host1/Admin(config-if)# exit
host1/Admin(config)# exit
(Optional) Enable the display of raw XML request show command output in XML format.
