Starting and Operating the SAE
Starting the SAE is the final step in the SDX software installation and basic configuration process. Before you configure and start the SAE, make sure that you have completed the following:
- Installed and configured the supporting software.
- Installed, configured, and started the directory
- (Optional) Installed, configured, and started RADIUS servers.

By default, the SAE sends log events to the system log. You can also enable file loggers to write logs to text files. See SDX Monitoring and Troubleshooting Guide, Chapter 2, Configuring Logging for SDX Components, for more information.
