Preposition Configuration Mode Commands
To create and modify preposition directives on a WAAS device for prepositioning files for WAFS, use the accelerator cifs preposition global configuration command.
accelerator cifs preposition directive_id
Syntax Description
directive_id |
Preposition directive ID of an existing preposition directive that you want to change or a new directive that you want to create. |
Defaults
No default behavior or values.
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
Usage Guidelines
Use the accelerator cifs preposition command to create and edit preposition directives to be used with the transparent CIFS accelerator. A preposition directive defines a set of files that are to be prepositioned on the WAE device.
Within preposition configuration mode, you can use the various commands (server, root, scan-type, schedule, and so on) to configure a preposition directive. After you are done defining and scheduling the preposition directive, you must use the command to enable it. To return to global configuration mode, enter the exit command at the preposition configuration mode prompt.
Note We recommend that you use the WAAS Central Manager GUI to configure preposition directives. For more information, see the "Creating a Preposition Directive" section in the Cisco Wide Area Application Services Configuration Guide.
Note If you create a preposition directive from the CLI before the secure store on the WAE is initialized, you must wait at least two datafeed poll cycles (10 minutes by default) before initializing the secure store; otherwise, the preposition directive will not propagate to the Central Manager because the credentials will not be able to be decrypted on the WAE.
Examples
The following example shows how to enter preposition configuration mode and configure a preposition directive using the accelerator cifs preposition command:
WAE(config)# accelerator cifs preposition 1
WAE(config-preposition)# credentials username administrator domain PRINT password 0 foo
WAE(config-preposition)# dscp 45
WAE(config-preposition)# duration 30
WAE(config-preposition)# min-file-size 0
WAE(config-preposition)# name "Program Files"
WAE(config-preposition)# root Program_Files
WAE(config-preposition)# scan-type full
WAE(config-preposition)# server 10.1.221.3
WAE(config-preposition)# schedule daily 23:00
WAE(config-preposition)# enable
WAE(config-preposition)# exit
Related Commands
(config-preposition) credentials
To set the username and password credentials for a file server in a preposition directive, use the credentials preposition configuration command.
credentials username username password {0 | 1} password}
Syntax Description
Defaults
No default behavior or values.
Command Modes
preposition configuration mode
Device Modes
application-accelerator
Examples
The following example shows how to set the username and password credentials:
WAE(config)# accelerator cifs preposition 3
WAE(config-preposition)# credentials username ramyav password 0 ux5TjW8r
Related Commands
(config-preposition) dscp
To set the DSCP marking value for a preposition task, use the dscp preposition configuration command. To remove a DSCP marking value, use the no form of this command.
dscp value
no dscp value
Syntax Description
value |
DSCP marking value to assign to prepositioning traffic. |
Defaults
No default behavior or values.
Command Modes
preposition configuration mode
Device Modes
application-accelerator
Usage Guidelines
This command specifies the DSCP marking value to be used for prepositioning traffic.
DSCP is a field in an IP packet that enables different levels of service to be assigned to the network traffic. The levels of service are assigned by marking each packet on the network with a DSCP code and associating a corresponding level of service. DSCP is the combination of IP Precedence and Type of Service (ToS) fields. For more information, see RFC 2474.
For details on the valid DSCP marking values, see Table 3-2 on page -543.
Examples
The following example shows how to set the DSCP marking value to cs7:
WAE(config)# accelerator cifs preposition 3
WAE(config-preposition)# dscp cs7
Related Commands
(config) policy-engine application set-dscp
(config-preposition) duration
To set the maximum duration for a preposition task, use the duration preposition configuration command. To remove a duration limit, use the no form of this command.
duration minutes
no duration minutes
Syntax Description
minutes |
Maximum number of minutes that the preposition task is allowed to run. |
Defaults
No default behavior or values.
Command Modes
preposition configuration mode
Device Modes
application-accelerator
Usage Guidelines
This command specifies the maximum amount of time that the WAAS software should take to complete the preposition task. If the software takes longer than this amount of time, the software stops the prepositioning process before all files are copied to the Edge WAE cache. If the preposition task does not start at the scheduled start time (for example, because the Edge and the Core have no connection), the start retries are counted in the duration. If you do not specify a value for this command, WAAS takes as much time as needed to export this file server.
Examples
The following example shows how to set the maximum task duration to 60 minutes:
WAE(config)# accelerator cifs preposition 3
WAE(config-preposition)# duration 60
Related Commands
(config-preposition) enable
