WAAS 5.1.1

[Prabhu S]

Hi,

I have upgraded my Central manager WAVE 594 to version 5.1.1 and Edge boxes are WAVE 7541 and WAVE 594 version 4.4.5. Whether with this combination WAAS optimization will work... And also i need to create custom device groups - 8 Groups. Each device group consist of more than 10 locations. Is't possible to create different policy settings for each groups?? will not impact any optimization or device group mismatch..

Thank you,

Prabhu

Hi Prabhu,

According to the Configuration Guide for this release, "WAAS Central Manager version 5.1.1 can manage WAE devices that are running version 4.2.1 and later releases."

Creating custom device groups is also covered in the Configuration Guide for this release. You'll find that yes, it's possible to create different policy settings for each group. As far as your question about impact goes, if I understand your question correctly, as long as your custom policies are sound, I don't see that you'd experience an adverse impact.

Good luck!

Jason
