Solved: Re: WAE not registered question

marcusbrutus · ‎11-16-2011

Hi Experts,

Just curious. If I have a newly deployed WAE with default settings but network settings settings configured eg. ip add and gateway ip add, but this WAE is not registered to a central manager, would it still TFO and application optimize? I have enabled license on the device by doing 'license add Enterprise' and app accelerator shows cifs, mapi, etc running.

Thanks!!

Hi Marcus,

Yes. WAE will still optimize the traffic, provided it has the default configuration. i.e. default policies are in place.

Central Manager is the management piece to manage configurations for WAE.

The WAAS Central Manager GUI allows administrators to perform the following tasks:

•Configure system and network settings for an individual WAAS device, WAAS Express device, or device group.

•Create and edit application policies that determine the action that a WAAS device performs when it intercepts specific types of traffic.

•Configure file services and set up file preposition policies.

•Create device groups that help you manage and configure multiple WAEs at the same time.

•View detailed reports about the optimized traffic in your WAAS network

Hope this helps.

Regards.
