Edge WAE permanently showing offline:

[nickolaskoiser]

I was doing demo for WAAS for a client in town and I went into some problem;

I am doing an off-path deployment, I was unable to secure the inline cards for this demo-I am using the gig interface of WAE 512.

I configured WCCP(service groups 61 and 62) on the routers at both ends.

I connected the WAEs on the unused Ethernet interface of the routers at the both ends configured 'ip wccp exclude in 'on the same interfaces to avoid routing loops.

The network connectivity is okay and i can ping from the central manager and from any part of the network.

I have also done 'cms enable' and specified the centralmanager IP.

The problem is the edge WAE permanently shows offline on the central manager,unlike the core wae which has been online all along.

What could be causing this branch WAE to be in this offline state.

Is this a bug?

Anyone who has experience with an off-path deployment before.

Please help the client is on my case.

Thank You

Thanks a lot for your response,

I tried all the above steps but it did not yield much,

What i finally did was to use other gig. interface,also gave it a diffrent hostname and re-registered it afresh.

It picked up well and is now optimizing traffic.

I appreciate your input.

I have had this issue...try using the command

'cms deregister force'this will unregister it and then you can try again,or go to the GUI of the edge device and unregister/re register it
