Do i need the Central Manager ??

[aviyoshi10]

Hi,

i have 2 WAE network modules on my 3800 ISR Routers.

if i don't need the GUI for statistics, can i configure a working setup without central manager entity ?, can i do all the configuration directly on each WAE network module and still get all the optimization and performance ?

thanks,

Avi,

Some items (disk encryption, SSL AO) require the Central Manager.  In addition, we (Cisco) don't support a production deployment without a CM.

Is there a list of features that will work without a Central Manager? For instance: Acceleration in FTP, HTTP, etc...

Is there a link to a guide in order to set up WAAS on individual WAE's as far as CLI commands and options go?

Off the top of my head, disk encryption and the SSL AO are the two big items that will not work without the Central Manager.

The configuration guide is available here:
