Global Configuration Mode Commands
Use global configuration mode for setting, viewing, and testing configuration of WAAS software features for the entire device. To enter this mode, enter the configure command from privileged EXEC mode. The prompt for global configuration mode consists of the hostname of the WAE followed by (config) and the pound sign (#). You must be in global configuration mode to enter global configuration commands.
WAE# configure
WAE(config)#
Commands entered in global configuration mode update the running configuration file as soon as they are entered. These changes are not saved into the startup configuration file until you enter the copy running-config startup-config EXEC mode command. Once the configuration is saved, it is maintained across WAE reboots.
You also can use global configuration mode to enter specific configuration modes. From global configuration mode you can enter the interface configuration mode, standard ACL configuration mode, or the extended ACL configuration mode.
To exit global configuration mode and return to privileged-level EXEC mode, use either the exit or end global configuration command:
WAE(config)# exit
WAE#
(config) aaa accounting
To configure AAA accounting on a WAAS device, use the aaa accounting global configuration command. To unconfigure AAA, use the no form of this command.
aaa accounting commands {0 | 15} default {start-stop | stop-only | wait-start} tacacs
no aaa accounting commands {0 | 15} default {start-stop | stop-only | wait-start} tacacs
aaa accounting exec default {start-stop | stop-only | wait-start} tacacs
no aaa accounting exec default {start-stop | stop-only | wait-start} tacacs
aaa accounting system default {start-stop | stop-only} tacacs
no aaa accounting system default {start-stop | stop-only} tacacs
Syntax Description
Defaults
AAA accounting is disabled by default.

Examples
The following example shows how to configure TACACS+ on the WAAS device, specify that a start accounting notice should be sent at the beginning of the process and a stop accounting notice at the end of the process, and request that the user process should begin regardless of whether the start accounting notice was received by the accounting server:
WAE(config)# tacacs key abc
WAE(config)# tacacs server 192.168.50.1 primary
WAE(config)# aaa accounting system default start-stop tacacs
WAE# show aaa accounting

In addition to command accounting, the WAAS device records any executed CLI command in the system log (syslog.txt). The message format is as follows:
ce_syslog(LOG_INFO, CESM_PARSER, PARSER_ALL, CESM_350232,
"CLI_LOG %s: %s \n", __FUNCTION__, pd->command_line);
Related Commands
(config) aaa authorization commands
To authorize commands issued through the CLI by a user on a WAAS device, use the aaa authorization commands global configuration command. To disable command authorization, use the no form of this command.
aaa authorization commands level default tacacs+
no aaa authorization commands level default tacacs+
Syntax Description
Defaults
AAA command authorization is disabled by default.
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
central-manager
Usage Guidelines
Command authorization enforces authorization through an external AAA server for each command executed by the user. All commands executed by a CLI user are authorized before they are executed.
When command authorization is configured for level 0, only EXEC commands are authorized, regardless of user level (normal or super).
When command authorization is configured for level 15, EXEC and global configuration commands are authorized, regardless of user level (normal or super).
Once it is configured, command authorization configuration is displayed in the running config. When the running config is copied to the startup config, command authorization is configured as the last config so that during the reload, the startup config need not be authorized.
Only commands executed through the CLI interface are subject to command authorization.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure command authorization for level 15 (authorization for both EXEC and global configuration commands) on the WAAS device:
WAE(config)# aaa authorization commands 15 default tacacs+
Related Commands
(config) accelerator cifs
To enable the CIFS application accelerator, use the accelerator cifs global configuration command. To disable the CIFS application accelerator, use the no form of this command.
accelerator cifs {[double-byte-unicode] | enable | dynamic-share share | clear cache |
cache server-rename oldname newname | exception {coredump | debug | no-coredump}}
no accelerator cifs {[double-byte-unicode] | enable | dynamic-share share | clear cache |
cache server-rename oldname newname | exception {coredump | debug | no-coredump}}
Syntax Description
Defaults
The CIFS accelerator is enabled by default and will start automatically if the Enterprise license is installed. The default exception action is coredump.
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
Usage Guidelines
Use the accelerator cifs enable command to enable the acceleration of CIFS traffic with the transparent CIFS accelerator (not the legacy mode of acceleration).
The CIFS application accelerator requires that the WINS server be configured. Use the windows-domain wins-server global configuration command to configure the WINS server.
To configure prepositioning directives, use the accelerator cifs preposition global configuration command.
Use the accelerator cifs dynamic-share command to define a dynamic share, which allows multiple users to access the same share but then be automatically mapped to a different directory based on the user's credentials. Defining a dynamic share allows each user to see a different view of the share, and allows the operation of Access Based Enumeration, if configured on Windows Server.
Note We recommend that you use the WAAS Central Manager GUI to configure dynamic shares because the dynamic share CLI configuration can be overwritten by the Central Manager. For more information, see the "Creating Dynamic Shares" section in the Cisco Wide Area Application Services Configuration Guide.
Use the accelerator cifs cache server-rename command to rename the data in the cache if the name of a file server changed and you do not want to lose the cached data for the server. The renaming applies to prepositioned files and files cached on demand.
Note Do not specify the name of another existing cached file server as the new name. If you do specify an existing name as the new name, the cached contents of this file server are overwritten with the cached contents of the file server you are renaming.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable the CIFS application accelerator:
WAE(config)# accelerator cifs enable
Related Commands
(config) accelerator cifs preposition
To configure a CIFS application accelerator preposition directive, use the accelerator cifs preposition global configuration command. To disable the application accelerator, use the no form of this command.
accelerator cifs preposition [remove] directive_id
no accelerator cifs preposition [remove] directive_id
Syntax Description
remove |
(Optional) Deletes a preposition directive. |
directive_id |
ID of an existing preposition directive that you want to change or delete, 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 about the WAE device.
The accelerator cifs preposition command invokes the preposition configuration submode. For details on the commands available in this submode to configure a preposition directive, see the "Preposition Configuration Mode Commands" section.
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 create a new CIFS preposition directive with ID 3:
WAE(config)# accelerator cifs preposition 3
WAE(config-preposition)
Related Commands
(config) accelerator epm
To enable the Endpoint Mapper (EPM) application accelerator, use the accelerator epm global configuration command. To disable the EPM application accelerator, use the no form of this command.
accelerator cifs preposition [remove] directive_id
no accelerator cifs preposition [remove] directive_id
Syntax Description
Defaults
The EPM accelerator is enabled by default and will start automatically if the Enterprise license is installed. The default exception action is coredump.
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
Usage Guidelines
Use the accelerator epm enable command to enable the acceleration of EPM traffic. The EPM accelerator must be enabled for the MAPI accelerator to operate.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable the EPM application accelerator:
WAE(config)# accelerator epm enable
Related Commands
(config) accelerator http
To enable the HTTP application accelerator, use the accelerator http global configuration command. To disable the HTTP application accelerator, use the no form of this command.
accelerator http {enable | exception {coredump | debug | no-coredump} | metadatacache {enable | conditional-response enable | redirect-response enable| unauthorized-response enable | max-age seconds | min-age seconds | filter-extension extension-list} | suppress-server-encoding enable}
no accelerator http {enable | exception {coredump | debug | no-coredump}}
Syntax Description
Defaults
The HTTP accelerator is enabled by default and will start automatically if the Enterprise license is installed. The default exception action is coredump.
The metadata caching feature is disabled by default for all response types. The default max-age is 86400 seconds (24 hours), the default min-age is 60 seconds, and the default filter extension list is empty (meaning that metadata caching is applied to all extension types).
The suppress-server-encoding feature is disabled by default.
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
Usage Guidelines
Use the accelerator http enable command to enable the acceleration of HTTP traffic.
You can enable or disable each of three metadata caches (conditional-response, redirect-response, and unauthorized-response) separately. By default they are all enabled when you enable HTTP metadata caching. If you disable the HTTP accelerator, metadata caching is also disabled.
When you enable the suppress-server-encoding feature, the WAE removes the Accept-Encoding header from HTTP requests, preventing the web server from compressing HTTP data that it sends to the client. This allows the WAE to apply its own compression to the HTTP data, typically resulting in much better compression than the web server.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable the HTTP application accelerator:
WAE(config)# accelerator http enable
The following example shows how to enable and configure the metadata cache to operate only on specific file types:
WAE(config)# accelerator http metadatacache enable
WAE(config)# accelerator http metadatacache filter-extension html,css,jpg,gif
Related Commands
(config) accelerator mapi
To enable the MAPI application accelerator, use the accelerator mapi global configuration command. To disable the MAPI application accelerator, or one of its options, use the no form of this command.
accelerator mapi {enable | read-opt | write-opt | reserved-pool-size maximum-percent max_percent | exception {coredump | debug | no-coredump}}
no accelerator mapi {enable | read-opt | write-opt | reserved-pool-size maximum-percent max_percent | exception {coredump | debug | no-coredump}}
Syntax Description
Defaults
The MAPI accelerator is enabled by default and will start automatically if the Enterprise license is installed. The read optimization (read-opt) and write optimization (write-opt) features are enabled by default when the MAPI accelerator is enabled. The default maximum reserved connection pool percent is 15. The default exception action is coredump.
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
Usage Guidelines
Use the accelerator mapi enable command to enable MAPI acceleration. This feature supports Microsoft Outlook 2000-2007 clients. Secure connections that use message authentication (signing) or encryption are not accelerated and MAPI over HTTP is not accelerated.
You must enable the EPM accelerator before the MAPI accelerator can operate.
Use the reserved-pool-size keyword to restrict the maximum number of connections reserved for MAPI optimization during TFO overload. It is specified as a percent of the TFO connection limit of the platform. Valid percent ranges from 5%-50%. The default is 15% which would reserve approximately 0.5 connection for each client-server Association Group (AG) optimized by MAPI accelerator.
The client maintains at least one AG per server it connects to with an average of about 3 connections per AG. For deployments that observe a greater average number of connections per AG, or where TFO overload is a frequent occurrence, a higher value for the reserved pool size maximum percent is recommended.
Reserved connections would remain unused when the device is not under TFO overload. Reserved connections are released when the AG terminates.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable the MAPI application accelerator:
WAE(config)# accelerator mapi enable
Related Commands

(config) authentication configuration
To specify administrative login authorization parameters for a WAAS device, use the authentication configuration global configuration mode command. To selectively disable options, use the no form of this command.
authentication {configuration {local | radius | tacacs | windows-domain}
enable [primary | secondary | tertiary | quaternary]
no authentication {configuration {local | radius | tacacs | windows-domain}
enable [primary | secondary | tertiary | quaternary]
Syntax Description
Defaults
The local authentication method is enabled by default.
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
central-manager
Usage Guidelines
The authentication command configures both the authentication and authorization methods that govern login and configuration access to the WAAS device.
Note We strongly recommend that you use the WAAS Central Manager GUI instead of the WAAS CLI to configure administrative login authentication and authorization for your WAAS devices, if possible. For information about how to use the WAAS Central Manager GUI to centrally configure administrative login authentication and authorization on a single WAE or group of WAEs, which are registered with a WAAS Central Manager, see the Cisco Wide Area Application Services Configuration Guide.
The authentication login command determines whether the user has any level of permission to access the WAAS device. The authentication configuration command authorizes the user with privileged access (configuration access) to the WAAS device.
The authentication login local and the authentication configuration local commands use a local database for authentication and authorization.
The authentication login tacacs and authentication configuration tacacs commands use a remote TACACS+ server to determine the level of user access. The WAAS software supports only TACACS+ and not TACACS or Extended TACACS.
To configure TACACS+, use the authentication and tacacs commands. To enable TACACS+, use the tacacs enable command. For more information on TACACS+ authentication, see the (config) tacacs command.
The authentication login radius and authentication configuration radius commands use a remote RADIUS server to determine the level of user access.
By default, the local method is enabled, with TACACS+ and RADIUS both disabled for login and configuration. Whenever TACACS+ and RADIUS are disabled the local method is automatically enabled. TACACS+, RADIUS, and local methods can be enabled at the same time.
The primary option specifies the first method to attempt for both login and configuration; the secondary option specifies the method to use if the primary method fails. The tertiary option specifies the method to use if both primary and secondary methods fail. The quaternary option specifies the method to use if the primary, secondary, and tertiary methods fail. If all methods of an authentication login or authentication configuration command are configured as primary, or all as secondary or tertiary, local is attempted first, then TACACS+, and then RADIUS.
Enforcing Authentication with the Primary Method
The authentication fail-over server-unreachable global configuration command allows you to specify that a failover to the secondary authentication method should occur only if the primary authentication server is unreachable. This feature ensures that users gain access to the WAAS device using the local database only when remote authentication servers (TACACS+ or RADIUS) are unreachable. For example, when a TACACS+ server is enabled for authentication with a user authentication failover configured and the user tries to log in to the WAAS device using an account defined in the local database, login fails. Login succeeds only when the TACACS+ server is unreachable.
You can configure multiple TACACS+ or RADIUS servers; authentication is attempted on the primary server first. If the primary server is unreachable, then authentication is attempted on the other servers in the TACACS+ or RADIUS farm, in order. If authentication fails for any reason other than a server is unreachable, authentication is not attempted on the other servers in the farm. This process applies regardless of the setting of the authentication fail-over server-unreachable command.
Login Authentication and Authorization Through the Local Database
Local authentication and authorization uses locally configured login and passwords to authenticate administrative login attempts. The login and passwords are local to each WAAS device and are not mapped to individual usernames.
By default, local login authentication is enabled first. You can disable local login authentication only after enabling one or more of the other administrative login authentication methods. However, when local login authentication is disabled, if you disable all other administrative login authentication methods, local login authentication is reenabled automatically.
Specifying RADIUS Authentication and Authorization Settings
To configure RADIUS authentication on a WAAS device, you must first configure a set of RADIUS authentication server settings on the WAAS device by using the radius-server global configuration command. (See the (config) radius-server command.)
Use the authentication login radius global configuration command to enable RADIUS authentication for normal login mode.
Use the authentication configuration radius global configuration command to enable RADIUS authorization.
To disable RADIUS authentication and authorization on a WAAS device, use the no form of the authentication global configuration command (for example, use the no authentication login radius enable command to disable RADIUS authentication).
Specifying TACACS+ Authentication and Authorization Settings
To configure TACACS+ authentication on WAAS devices, you must configure a set of TACACS+ authentication settings on the WAAS device by using the tacacs global configuration command. (See the (config) tacacs command.)
Server Redundancy
Authentication servers can be specified with the tacacs host or radius-server host global configuration commands. In the case of TACACS+ servers, the tacacs host hostname command can be used to configure additional servers. These additional servers provide authentication redundancy and improved throughput, especially when WAAS device load-balancing schemes distribute the requests evenly between the servers. If the WAAS device cannot connect to any of the authentication servers, no authentication takes place and users who have not been previously authenticated are denied access. Secondary authentication servers are queried in order only if the primary server is unreachable. If authentication fails for any other reason, alternate servers are not queried.
Specifying the Windows Domain Login Authentication
You can enable the Windows domain as an administrative login authentication and authorization method for a device or device group. Before you enable Windows authentication, you must first configure the Windows domain controller by using the windows-domain wins-server global configuration command. (See the (config) windows-domain command.)
Note WAAS supports authentication by a Windows domain controller running only on Windows Server 2000 or Windows Server 2003.
Examples
The following example shows how to query the secondary authentication database if the primary authentication server is unreachable. This feature is referred to as the failover server-unreachable feature.
WAE(config)# authentication fail-over server-unreachable
If you enable the failover server-unreachable feature on the WAAS device, only two login authentication schemes (a primary and secondary scheme) can be configured on the WAAS device. The WAAS device fails over from the primary authentication scheme to the secondary authentication scheme only if the specified authentication server is unreachable.
To enable authentication privileges using the local, TACACS+, RADIUS, or Windows databases, and to specify the order of the administrative login authentication, use the authentication login global configuration command. In the following example, RADIUS is specified as the primary method, TACACS+ as the secondary method, Windows as the third method, and the local database as the fourth method. In this example, four login authentication methods are specified because the failover server-unreachable feature is not enabled on the WAAS device.
WAE(config)# authentication login radius enable primary
WAE(config)# authentication login tacacs enable secondary
WAE(config)# authentication login windows-domain enable tertiary
WAE(config)# authentication login local enable quaternary
Note If you enable the failover server unreachable feature on the WAAS device, make sure that you specify either TACACS+ or RADIUS as the primary scheme for authentication, and specify local as the secondary scheme for authentication.
To enable authorization privileges using the local, TACACS+, RADIUS, or Windows databases, and to specify the order of the administrative login authorization (configuration), use the authentication configuration global configuration command.
Note Authorization privileges apply to console and Telnet connection attempts, secure FTP (SFTP) sessions, and Secure Shell (SSH, Version 1 and Version 2) sessions.
We strongly recommend that you set the administrative login authentication and authorization methods in the same order. For example, configure the WAAS device to use RADIUS as the primary login method, TACACS+ as the secondary login method, Windows as the tertiary method, and the local method as the quaternary method for both administrative login authentication and authorization.
The following example shows that RADIUS is specified as the primary method, TACACS+ as the secondary method, Windows as the third method, and the local database as the fourth method. In this example, four login authorization (configuration) methods are specified because the failover server-unreachable feature is not enabled on the WAAS device.
WAE(config)# authentication configuration radius enable primary
WAE(config)# authentication configuration tacacs enable secondary
WAE(config)# authentication configuration windows-domain enable tertiary
WAE(config)# authentication configuration local enable quaternary
Note If you enable the failover server unreachable feature on the WAAS device, make sure that you specify either TACACS+ or RADIUS as the primary scheme for authorization (configuration), and specify local as the secondary scheme for authorization (configuration).
The following example shows the resulting output of the show authentication command:
WAE# show authentication user
Login Authentication: Console/Telnet/Ftp/SSH Session
----------------------------- ------------------------------

no authentication content-request windows-domain-ctrl disconnected-mode enable
Syntax Description
Defaults
The local authentication method is enabled by default.
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
Usage Guidelines
The authentication command configures both the authentication and authorization methods that govern login and configuration access to the WAAS device.
Note We strongly recommend that you use the WAAS Central Manager GUI instead of the WAAS CLI to configure administrative login authentication and authorization for your WAAS devices, if possible. For information about how to use the WAAS Central Manager GUI to centrally configure administrative login authentication and authorization on a single WAE or group of WAEs, which are registered with a WAAS Central Manager, see the Cisco Wide Area Application Services Configuration Guide.
The authentication login command determines whether the user has any level of permission to access the WAAS device. The authentication configuration command authorizes the user with privileged access (configuration access) to the WAAS device.
The authentication login local and the authentication configuration local commands use a local database for authentication and authorization.
The authentication login tacacs and authentication configuration tacacs commands use a remote TACACS+ server to determine the level of user access. The WAAS software supports only TACACS+ and not TACACS or Extended TACACS.
To configure TACACS+, use the authentication and tacacs commands. To enable TACACS+, use the tacacs enable command. For more information on TACACS+ authentication, see the (config) tacacs command.
The authentication login radius and authentication configuration radius commands use a remote RADIUS server to determine the level of user access.
By default, the local method is enabled, with TACACS+ and RADIUS both disabled for login and configuration. Whenever TACACS+ and RADIUS are disabled the local method is automatically enabled. TACACS+, RADIUS, and local methods can be enabled at the same time.
The primary option specifies the first method to attempt for both login and configuration; the secondary option specifies the method to use if the primary method fails. The tertiary option specifies the method to use if both primary and secondary methods fail. The quaternary option specifies the method to use if the primary, secondary, and tertiary methods fail. If all methods of an authentication login or authentication configuration command are configured as primary, or all as secondary or tertiary, local is attempted first, then TACACS+, and then RADIUS.
Enforcing Authentication with the Primary Method
The authentication fail-over server-unreachable global configuration command allows you to specify that a failover to the secondary authentication method should occur only if the primary authentication server is unreachable. This feature ensures that users gain access to the WAAS device using the local database only when remote authentication servers (TACACS+ or RADIUS) are unreachable. For example, when a TACACS+ server is enabled for authentication with a user authentication failover configured and the user tries to log in to the WAAS device using an account defined in the local database, login fails. Login succeeds only when the TACACS+ server is unreachable.
You can configure multiple TACACS+ or RADIUS servers; authentication is attempted on the primary server first. If the primary server is unreachable, then authentication is attempted on the other servers in the TACACS+ or RADIUS farm, in order. If authentication fails for any reason other than a server is unreachable, authentication is not attempted on the other servers in the farm. This process applies regardless of the setting of the authentication fail-over server-unreachable command.
Login Authentication and Authorization Through the Local Database
Local authentication and authorization uses locally configured login and passwords to authenticate administrative login attempts. The login and passwords are local to each WAAS device and are not mapped to individual usernames.
By default, local login authentication is enabled first. You can disable local login authentication only after enabling one or more of the other administrative login authentication methods. However, when local login authentication is disabled, if you disable all other administrative login authentication methods, local login authentication is reenabled automatically.
Specifying RADIUS Authentication and Authorization Settings
To configure RADIUS authentication on a WAAS device, you must first configure a set of RADIUS authentication server settings on the WAAS device by using the radius-server global configuration command. (See the (config) radius-server command.)
Use the authentication login radius global configuration command to enable RADIUS authentication for normal login mode.
Use the authentication configuration radius global configuration command to enable RADIUS authorization.
To disable RADIUS authentication and authorization on a WAAS device, use the no form of the authentication global configuration command (for example, use the no authentication login radius enable command to disable RADIUS authentication).
Specifying TACACS+ Authentication and Authorization Settings
To configure TACACS+ authentication on WAAS devices, you must configure a set of TACACS+ authentication settings on the WAAS device by using the tacacs global configuration command. (See the (config) tacacs command.)
Server Redundancy
Authentication servers can be specified with the tacacs host or radius-server host global configuration commands. In the case of TACACS+ servers, the tacacs host hostname command can be used to configure additional servers. These additional servers provide authentication redundancy and improved throughput, especially when WAAS device load-balancing schemes distribute the requests evenly between the servers. If the WAAS device cannot connect to any of the authentication servers, no authentication takes place and users who have not been previously authenticated are denied access. Secondary authentication servers are queried in order only if the primary server is unreachable. If authentication fails for any other reason, alternate servers are not queried.
Specifying the Windows Domain Login Authentication
You can enable the Windows domain as an administrative login authentication and authorization method for a device or device group. Before you enable Windows authentication, you must first configure the Windows domain controller by using the windows-domain wins-server global configuration command. (See the (config) windows-domain command.)
Note WAAS supports authentication by a Windows domain controller running only on Windows Server 2000 or Windows Server 2003.

In the following example, RADIUS is specified as the primary method, TACACS+ as the secondary method, Windows as the third method, and the local database as the fourth method. In this example, four login authentication methods are specified because the failover server-unreachable feature is not enabled on the WAAS device.
WAE(config)# authentication login radius enable primary
WAE(config)# authentication login tacacs enable secondary
WAE(config)# authentication login windows-domain enable tertiary
WAE(config)# authentication login local enable quaternary
Note If you enable the failover server unreachable feature on the WAAS device, make sure that you specify either TACACS+ or RADIUS as the primary scheme for authentication, and specify local as the secondary scheme for authentication.
To enable authorization privileges using the local, TACACS+, RADIUS, or Windows databases, and to specify the order of the administrative login authorization (configuration), use the authentication configuration global configuration command.
Note Authorization privileges apply to console and Telnet connection attempts, secure FTP (SFTP) sessions, and Secure Shell (SSH, Version 1 and Version 2) sessions.
We strongly recommend that you set the administrative login authentication and authorization methods in the same order. For example, configure the WAAS device to use RADIUS as the primary login method, TACACS+ as the secondary login method, Windows as the tertiary method, and the local method as the quaternary method for both administrative login authentication and authorization.

Usage Guidelines
When you enable the strong password policy, your user passwords must meet the following requirements:
•The password must be 8 to 31 characters long.
•The password can include both uppercase and lowercase letters (A-Z and a-z), numbers (0-9), and special characters including ~`!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]\{};:,</>.
•The password cannot contain all the same characters (for example, 99999).
•The password cannot contain consecutive characters (for example, 12345).
•The password cannot be the same as the username.
•Each new password must be different from the previous 12 passwords. User passwords expire within 90 days.
•The password cannot contain the characters ' " |
(apostrophe, double quote, or pipe) or any control characters.
•The password cannot contain dictionary words.
When you disable the strong password policy, user passwords must meet the following requirements:
•The password must have 1 to 31 characters.
•The password can include both uppercase and lowercase letters (A-Z and a-z), and numbers (0-9).
•The password cannot contain the characters ' " |
(apostrophe, double quote, or pipe) or any control characters.
Note When you enable the strong password policy, existing standard-policy passwords will still work. However, these passwords are subject to expiration under the strong password policy.

(config) auto-discovery
To configure a WAE to automatically discover origin servers (such as those servers behind firewalls) that cannot receive TCP packets with setup options and add these server IP addresses to a blacklist for a specified number of minutes, use the auto-discovery global configuration command. To disable auto-discovery, use the no form of this command.
auto-discovery blacklist {enable | hold-time minutes}
no auto-discovery blacklist {enable | hold-time minutes}
Syntax Description
Defaults
The default auto-discovery blacklist hold time is 60 minutes.
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
Usage Guidelines
Use the auto-discovery blacklist hold-time command to adjust the blacklist hold time for the TFO auto-discovery feature. With auto-discovery, the WAE keeps track of origin servers (such as those servers behind firewalls) that cannot receive TCP packets with options and learns not to send out TCP packets with options to these blacklisted servers. When a server IP address is added to the blacklist, it remains on the blacklist for the configured number of minutes. After the hold time expires, subsequent connection attempts will again include TCP options so that the WAE can redetermine if the server can receive them. Resending TCP options periodically is useful because network packet loss could cause a server to be blacklisted erroneously.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable TFO auto-discovery blacklist using the auto-discovery command:
WAE(config)# auto-discovery blacklist enable
Related Commands

To enable the discovery of a Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet WAE and its automatic registration with the WAAS Central Manager through the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), use the auto-register global configuration command. To disable the autoregistration feature on a WAE, use the no form of this command.
auto-register enable [FastEthernet slot/port | GigabitEthernet slot/port]
no auto-register enable [FastEthernet slot/port | GigabitEthernet slot/port]
Syntax Description
Defaults
Automatic registration using DHCP is enabled on a WAE by default.
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
Usage Guidelines
Autoregistration automatically configures network settings and registers WAEs with the WAAS Central Manager. On bootup, devices that run the WAAS software (with the exception of the WAAS Central Manager) automatically discover the WAAS Central Manager and register with it. You do not have to do any manual configuration on the device. Once the WAE is registered, you can approve the device and configure it remotely using the WAAS Central Manager GUI.
You can use the auto-register enable command to allow a Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet WAE to discover the hostname of the WAAS Central Manager through DHCP and to automatically register the device with the WAAS Central Manager. Discovery and registration occur at bootup.
Note You must disable autoregistration when both device interfaces are configured as port-channel interfaces.
For autoregistration to work, you must have a DHCP server that is configured with the hostname of the WAAS Central Manager and that is capable of handling vendor class option 43.
Note The DHCP that is used for autoregistration is not the same as the interface-level DHCP that is configurable through the ip address dhcp interface configuration command.
To assign a static IP address using the interface GigabitEthernet slot/port command, you must first disable the automatic registration of devices through DHCP by using the no auto-register enable command.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable autoregistration on GigabitEthernet port 2/0:
WAE(config)# auto-register enable GigabitEthernet 2/0
The following example shows how to disable autoregistration on all configured interfaces on the WAE:
WAE(config)# no auto-register enable

Usage Guidelines
The message keyword is optional. If you enter a carriage return without specifying the message keyword, you will be prompted to enter your message text. For message text on one or more lines, press the Return key or enter delimiting characters (\n) to specify a message to appear on a new line. You can enter up to a maximum of 980 characters, including new-line characters (\n). Enter a period (.) at the beginning of a new line to save the message and return to the prompt for the global configuration mode.
Note The EXEC banner content is obtained from the command-line input that you enter when prompted for the input.
After you configure the banners, enter the banner enable global configuration command to enable banner support on the appliance. Enter the show banner EXEC command to display information about the configured banners.
Note When you run an SSH version 1 client and log in to the WAE, the MOTD and login banners are not displayed. You need to use SSH version 2 to display the banners when you log in to the WAE.
Examples
The following example shows how to use the banner motd message global configuration command to configure the MOTD banner. In this example, the MOTD message consists of a single line of text.
WAE(config)#
banner motd message This is a WAAS 4.0.7 device
The following example shows how to use the banner motd message global command to configure a MOTD message that is longer than a single line. In this case, the WAE translates the \n portion of the message to a new line when the MOTD message is displayed to the user.
WAE(config)#
banner motd message "This is the motd message.
\nThis is a WAAS 4.0.7 device\n"
The following example shows how to use the banner login message global configuration command to configure a login message that is longer than a single line. In this case, WAE A translates the \n portion of the message to a new line in the login message that is displayed to the user.
WAE(config)#

Assume that a WAE has been configured with the MOTD, login, and EXEC banners as shown in the previous examples. When a user uses an SSH session to log in to the WAE, the user will see a login session that includes a MOTD banner and a login banner that asks the user to enter a login password as follows:
This is the motd banner.
This is a WAAS 4.0.7 device
This is login banner.
Use your password to login.
Cisco Wide Area Application Services Engine
admin@wae's password:
After the user enters a valid login password, the EXEC banner is displayed, and the user is asked to enter the WAAS username and password as follows:
Last login: Fri Oct 1 14:54:03 2004 from client
System Initialization Finished.
This is the EXEC banner.
Use your WAAS username and password to log in to this WAE.
After the user enters a valid WAAS username and password, the WAE CLI is displayed. The CLI prompt varies depending on the privilege level of the login account. In the following example, because the user entered a username and password that had administrative privileges (privilege level of 15), the EXEC mode CLI prompt is displayed:

(config) bypass
To configure static bypass lists on a WAE, use the bypass global configuration command. To disable the bypass feature (clear the static bypass lists), use the no form of this command.
bypass static {clientip | any-client} {serverip | any-server}
no bypass static {clientip | any-client} {serverip | any-server}
Syntax Description
Defaults
No default behaviors or values.
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
Usage Guidelines
The bypass static command permits traffic from specified sources to bypass the WAE. Wildcards in either the client or server IP addresses are not supported.
Note We recommend that you use IP access lists on the WCCP-enabled router or an interception access list on the WAE, rather than using the static bypass feature, because access lists are more flexible and give better statistics about passed-through connections.
A static bypass list is mutually exclusive with an interception ACL (configured by the interception access-list global configuration command). If you have configured an interception ACL, you must remove it before using this command.
Examples
The following example shows how to force traffic from a specified client to a specified server to bypass the WAE:
WAE(config)#
bypass static 10.1.17.1 172.16.7.52
The following example shows how to force all traffic destined to a specified server to bypass the WAE:
WAE(config)#
bypass static any-client 172.16.7.52
The following example shows how to force all traffic from a specified client to any file server to bypass the WAE:
WAE(config)#
bypass static 10.1.17.1 any-server
A static list of source and destination addresses helps to isolate instances of problem-causing clients and servers. To display static configuration list items, use the show bypass list command as follows:
WAE# show bypass list
Client Server Entry type
------ ------ ----------
10.1.17.1:0 172.16.7.52:0 static-config
any-client:0 172.16.7.52:0 static-config

Syntax Description
Defaults
No default behavior or values.
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
central-manager
Usage Guidelines
To set and display the local and UTC current time of day without an NTP server, use the clock timezone command with the clock set command. The clock timezone parameter specifies the difference between UTC and local time, which is set with the clock set EXEC command. The UTC and local time are displayed with the show clock detail EXEC command.
Note Unexpected time changes can result in unexpected system behavior. We recommend reloading the system after changing the system clock.
Use the clock timezone offset command to specify a time zone, where timezone is the desired time zone entry listed in the table below and 0 0 is the offset (ahead or behind) UTC is in hours and minutes. (UTC was formerly known as Greenwich mean time [GMT]).
WAE(config)# clock timezone timezone 0 0
Note The time zone entry is case sensitive and must be specified in the exact notation listed in Table 3-1. When you use a time zone entry from the time zone table, the system is automatically adjusted for daylight saving time.
Examples
The following example shows how to specify the local time zone as Pacific Standard Time with an offset of 8 hours behind UTC:
WAE(config)# clock timezone US/Pacific -8 0
The following example shows how to negate the time zone setting on the WAAS device:
WAE(config)# no clock timezone
The following example shows how to configure daylight saving time:
WAE(config)# clock summertime US/Pacific date 10 October 2005 23:59 29 April 2006 23:59 60

Usage Guidelines
Use the cms database maintenance global configuration command to schedule routine full maintenance cleaning (vacuuming) or a regular maintenance reindexing of the embedded database. The full maintenance routine runs only when the disk is more than 90 percent full and only runs once a week. Cleaning the tables returns reusable space to the database system.
The cms enable global configuration command automatically registers the node in the database management tables and enables the CMS process. The no cms enable global configuration command only stops the management services on the WAAS device. Use the cms deregister EXEC command to de-register (remove) a WAAS device from the WAAS network.
Examples
The following example shows how to schedule a regular (reindexing) maintenance routine to start every Friday at 11:00 p.m on the WAAS device:

(config) interception access-list
To configure traffic interception with an access list, use the interception access-list global configuration command. To disable the interception access list, use the no form of this command.
interception access-list {acl-num | acl_name}
no interception access-list
Syntax Description
Defaults
No default behaviors or values.
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
central-manager
Usage Guidelines
Use the interception access-list command to apply an access list (ACL) to traffic interception. Packets permitted by the ACL are intercepted for WAAS optimization. Packets denied by the ACL are passed through by WAAS. You can define ACLs by using the ip access-list standard or ip access-list extended configuration commands.
You can configure only one interception ACL on a device.
If you specify an interception ACL that is not defined, it is considered to be a "permit any" ACL and all traffic is intercepted.
An interception ACL is mutually exclusive with a static bypass list (configured by the bypass global configuration command). If you have configured a static bypass list, you must remove it before using this command.
An interception ACL works both with WCCP and inline interception modes.
When used with interface ACLs and WCCP ACLs, the interface ACL is applied first, the WCCP ACL is applied second, and then the interception ACL is applied last.
Examples
The following example shows how to define and apply an ACL that intercepts all traffic except WWW traffic from a particular client:
dc-wae(config)# ip access-list extended iacl
dc-wae(config-ext-nacl)# deny tcp host 10.74.2.132 any eq www
dc-wae(config-ext-nacl)# permit ip any any
dc-wae(config-ext-nacl)# exit

Syntax Description
Defaults
The first attached interface in a standby group is defined as the active interface. There are no other default behaviors or values.
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
central-manager
Usage Guidelines
Although the CLI contains the no interface option, you cannot apply the no command to an interface. The software displays the following error message: Removing of physical interface is not permitted.
To configure an interface bandwidth on a WAAS device, use the bandwidth interface configuration command. The bandwidth is specified in megabits per second (Mbps). Using this option automatically enables autosense on the interface.
Using the cdp enable command in global configuration mode enables CDP globally on all the interfaces. If you want to control CDP behavior per interface, use the cdp enable command in interface configuration mode. The interface level control overrides the global control.
To display the interface identifiers (for example, interface GigabitEthernet 1/0), use the show running-config or show startup-config commands. The autosense, bandwidth, full-duplex, half-duplex, ip, and shutdown commands are listed separately in this command reference.
Note When you use the ip address command to change the IP address of an interface that has been shut down, it automatically brings up that interface by default.
Configuring Multiple Secondary IP Addresses on a Single Physical Interface
Use the interface secondary global configuration command to configure more than one IP address on the same interface. By configuring multiple IP addresses on a single interface, the WAAS device can be present in more than one subnet. This configuration allows you to optimize the response time because the content goes directly from the WAAS device to the requesting client without being redirected through a router. The WAAS device becomes visible to the client because they are configured on the same subnet.
You can assign up to four secondary addresses to an interface. These addresses become active only after you configure the primary address. No two interfaces can have the same IP address in the same subnetwork. To set these secondary IP addresses, use the ip address command.
If a WAAS device has one physical interface that has multiple secondary IP addresses assigned to it, the egress traffic uses the source IP address that is chosen by IP routing. If the secondary IP addresses of a WAAS device in the same subnet as the primary IP address, then the egress traffic uses the primary IP address only. If the secondary IP addresses are in a different subnet than the primary IP address, then the destination IP address determines which IP address on the WAAS device is used for the egress traffic.
Configuring Interfaces for DHCP
When you configure a WAAS device initially, you can configure a static IP address or use interface-level DHCP to dynamically assign IP addresses to the interfaces on the WAAS device.
If you do not enable interface-level DHCP on the WAAS device, you must manually specify a static IP address and network mask for the WAAS device. If the WAAS device moves to another location in another part of the network, you must manually enter a new static IP address and network mask for this WAAS device.
You can enable an interface for DHCP using the ip address dhcp [client_id | hostname] interface configuration command. The client identifier is an ASCII value. The WAAS device sends its configured client identifier and hostname to the DHCP server when requesting network information. You can configure DHCP servers to identify the client identifier and the hostname that the WAAS device is sending and then send the specific network settings that are assigned to the WAAS device.
Note You must disable autoregistration before you can manually configure an interface for DHCP. Autoregistration is enabled by default on the first interface of the device.
Defining Interface Descriptions
You can specify a one-line description for a specific interface on a WAAS device. Use the description text interface configuration command to enter the description for the specific interface. The maximum length of the description text is 240 characters. This feature is supported for the Gigabit Ethernet, port-channel, and Standby interfaces.
Note This feature is not currently supported for the SCSI or IDE interfaces.
After you define the description for an interface, use the show EXEC commands to display the defined interface descriptions. Enter the show interface interface type slot/port EXEC command to display the defined description for a specific interface on the WAE.
Configuring a Standby Group
You can associate an interface with a standby group by using the standby 1 interface configuration command. To make an interface the active interface in a standby group, use the standby 1 primary interface configuration command. If you have already associated an interface with a standby group but have not made it the primary interface, you cannot specify the command again to add the primary designation. First, remove the interface from the standby group, then reassign it, specifying the primary option at the same time.
A physical interface can be a member of a standby group or a port channel, but not both.
You cannot assign an IP address to both a standby group and a port channel. Only one virtual interface can be configured with an IP address.

Usage Guidelines
An InlineGroup interface is a logical grouping of a pair of Ethernet ports that are physically contained in the optional 4-port Cisco WAE Inline Network Adapter. The inline network adapter is supported on all WAAS appliance platforms beginning with the WAAS 4.0.7 release. Two Cisco WAE Inline Network Adapters are supported in the WAE-7341/7371/674 beginning with the WAAS 4.2.1 release.
You can have up to two (or four) InlineGroup interfaces, which allows for two (or four) bypass-enabled paths for traffic to pass through the WAE appliance, making multiple-router deployments possible. The InlineGroup interfaces provide failover capability and can be assigned to any set of VLANs. (For examples of InlineGroup interface configurations, see the (config-if) inline command.)
You can configure the InlineGroup interface for link speed (bandwidth or autosense) and mode of operation (half-duplex or full-duplex).
Note If the VLAN ID that you set with the encapsulation dot1q option does not match the VLAN ID expected by the router subinterface, you may not be able to connect to the inline interface IP address.
The inline adapter supports only a single VLAN ID for each inline group interface. If you have configured a secondary address from a different subnet on an inline interface, you must have the same secondary address assigned on the router subinterface for the VLAN.
Note We strongly recommend that you do not use half duplex on the WAE, routers, switches, or other devices. Use of half-duplex impedes system ability to improve performance and should not be used. Double-check each Cisco WAE interface as well as the port configuration on the adjacent device (router, switch, firewall, WAE) to verify that full-duplex is configured.

Usage Guidelines
EtherChannel for the WAAS software supports the grouping of two same-speed network interfaces into one virtual interface. This configuration allows you to set or remove a virtual interface that consists of the two integrated Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. EtherChannel also provides interoperability with Cisco routers, switches, and other networking devices or hosts supporting EtherChannel, load balancing, and automatic failure detection and recovery based on the current link status of each interface. You must configure EtherChannel on the switch or router if you configure it on the WAE.
You cannot remove an EtherChannel that is configured as the primary interface on a WAE.
Note You cannot use the inline Ethernet interfaces that are located on the WAE inline network adapter to form an EtherChannel.
Note No two interfaces can have IP addresses in the same subnet.
Examples
The following example shows how to create an EtherChannel. The port channel is port channel 1 and is assigned an IP address of 10.10.10.10 and a netmask of 255.0.0.0:

central-manager
Usage Guidelines
To define a default gateway, use the ip default-gateway command. You can only configure one default gateway. To remove the IP default gateway, use the no form of this command. The WAAS device uses the default gateway to route IP packets when there is no specific route found to the destination.
To define a default domain name, use the ip domain-name command. To remove the IP default domain name, use the no form of this command. You can enter up to three domain names. If a request arrives without a domain name appended in its hostname, the proxy tries to resolve the hostname by appending name1, name2, and name3 in that order until one of these names succeeds.
To add an entry to the /etc/hosts file on the device, mapping a hostname to an IP address, use the ip host command. A given hostname can be mapped only to a single IP address, while an IP address can have multiple hostnames mapped to it, each one through a separate issuance of this command. To remove the entry from the /etc/hosts file, use the no form of this command. You can use the show hosts EXEC command to display the contents of the /etc/hosts file.
To specify the address of one or more name servers to use for name and address resolution, use the ip name-server ip-addresses command. To disable IP name servers, use the no form of this command. For proper resolution of the hostname to the IP address or the IP address to the hostname, the WAAS device uses DNS servers. Use the ip name-server command to point the WAAS device to a specific DNS server. You can configure up to eight servers.
Path MTU autodiscovery discovers the MTU and automatically sets the correct value. Use the ip path-mtu-discovery enable command to start this autodiscovery utility. By default, this feature is disabled because the WAE does not receive ICMP packets. When this feature is disabled, the sending device uses a packet size that is smaller than 576 bytes and the next hop MTU. Existing connections are not affected when this feature is turned on or off.
Use the ip route command to add a specific static route for a network or host. Any IP packet designated for the specified destination uses the configured route.
To configure static IP routing, use the ip route command. To remove the route, use the no form of this command. Do not use the ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 command to configure the default gateway; use the ip default-gateway command instead.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure a default gateway for the WAAS device:
WAE(config)# ip default-gateway 192.168.7.18
The following example shows how to configure a static IP route for the WAAS device:
WAE(config)# ip route 172.16.227.128 255.255.255.0 172.16.227.250
The following example shows how to configure a default domain name for the WAAS device:
WAE(config)# ip domain-name cisco.com
The following example shows how to add an entry to the /etc/hosts file on the WAAS device:
WAE(config)# ip host corp-B7 10.11.12.140

WAE(config)# ip name-server 10.11.12.13
Related Commands
(config) ip access-list
To create and modify access lists on a WAAS device for controlling access to interfaces or applications, use the ip access-list global configuration command. To disable an access list, use the no form of this command.
ip access-list {standard {acl-name | acl-num} | extended {acl-name | acl-num} | logging}
no ip access-list {standard {acl-name | acl-num} | extended {acl-name | acl-num} | logging}
Syntax Description
standard |
Enables standard ACL configuration mode. The CLI enters the standard ACL configuration mode in which all subsequent commands apply to the current standard access list. The (config-std-nacl) prompt appears: WAE(config-std-nacl)# See the "Standard ACL Configuration Mode Commands" section for details about working with entries in a standard access list and the commands available from the standard ACL configuration mode (config-std-nacl)#. |
extended |
Enables extended ACL configuration mode. The CLI enters the extended ACL configuration mode in which all subsequent commands apply to the current extended access list. The (config-ext-nacl) prompt appears: WAE(config-ext-nacl)# See the "Extended ACL Configuration Mode Commands" section for details about working with entries in an extended access list and the commands available from the extended ACL configuration mode (config-ext-nacl)#. |
acl-name |
Access list to which all commands entered from ACL configuration mode apply, using an alphanumeric string of up to 30 characters, beginning with a letter. |
acl-num |
Access list to which all commands entered from access list configuration mode apply, using a numeric identifier. For standard access lists, the valid range is 1 to 99; for extended access lists, the valid range is 100 to 199. |
logging |
Enables logging for all IP access lists. |
Defaults
An access list drops all packets unless you configure at least one permit entry.
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
central-manager
Usage Guidelines
Within ACL configuration mode, you can use the editing commands (list, delete, and move) to display the current condition entries, to delete a specific entry, or to change the order in which the entries will be evaluated. To return to global configuration mode, use the exit command at the ACL configuration mode prompt.
To create an entry, use a the deny or permit keyword and specify the type of packets that you want the WAAS device to drop or to accept for further processing. By default, an access list denies everything because the list is terminated by an implicit deny any entry. You must include at least one permit entry to create a valid access list.
Note IP ACLs that are defined on a router take precedence over the IP ACLs that are defined on the WAE. IP ACLs that are defined on a WAE take precedence over the WAAS application definition policies that are defined on the WAE.
After creating an access list, you can include the access list in an access group using the access-group command, which determines how the access list is applied. You can also apply the access list to a specific application using the appropriate command. A reference to an access list that does not exist is the equivalent of a permit any condition statement.
To work with access lists, enter either the ip access-list standard or ip access-list extended global configuration command. Identify the new or existing access list with a name up to 30 characters long beginning with a letter, or with a number. If you use a number to identify a standard access list, it must be between 1 and 99; for an extended access list, use a number from 100 to 199. You must use a standard access list for providing access to the SNMP server or to the TFTP gateway/server. However, you can use either a standard access list or an extended access list for providing access to the WCCP application.
After you identify the access list, the CLI enters the appropriate configuration mode and all subsequent commands apply to the specified access list. The prompt for each configuration mode is shown in the following examples.
WAE(config)# ip access-list standard test
WAE(config-std-nacl)# exit
WAE(config)# ip access-list extended test2
WAE(config-ext-nacl)#
Use the ip access-list logging command to log denied packets.
Examples
The following example shows how to create an access list on the WAAS device. You create this access list to allow the WAAS device to accept all web traffic that is redirected to it but limit host administrative access using SSH:
WAE(config)# ip access-list extended example
WAE(config-ext-nacl)# permit tcp any any eq www
WAE(config-ext-nacl)# permit tcp host 10.1.1.5 any eq ssh
WAE(config-ext-nacl)# exit
The following example shows how to activate the access list for an interface:

Usage Guidelines
All Windows 2000 domains are also Kerberos realms. Because the Windows 2000 domain name is also a DNS domain name, the Kerberos realm name for the Windows 2000 domain name is always in uppercase letters. This capitalization follows the recommendation for using DNS names as realm names in the Kerberos Version 5 protocol document (RFC-1510) and affects only interoperability with other Kerberos-based environments.
Note Your Windows domain server must have a Reverse DNS Zone configured for this command to execute successfully.
The KDC server and all hosts with Kerberos authentication configured must interact within a 5-minute window or authentication will fail. All hosts, especially the KDC, should be running NTP. For information about configuring NTP, see the (config) ntp command.
The KDC server and Admin server must have the same IP address. The default port number for both servers is port 88.
The kerberos command modifies the krb5.conf file.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure the WAAS device to authenticate with a specified KDC in a specified Kerberos realm. The configuration is then verified.
WAE(config)# kerberos ?
local-realm Set local realm name

Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Defaults
The kernel debugger is disabled by default.
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes

central-manager
Usage Guidelines
Once enabled, kdb is automatically activated if kernel problems occur, or you can manually activate it from the local console for the WAAS device. Once activated, all normal functioning of the WAAS device is suspended until kdb is manually deactivated. The kdb prompt looks like this:
[0]kdb>
To deactivate kdb, enter the go command at the kdb prompt. If kdb was automatically activated because of kernel problems, the system generates a core dump and restarts. If you activated kdb manually for diagnostic purposes, the system resumes normal functioning in whatever state it was when you activated kdb. In either case, if you enter the reboot command, the system restarts and normal operation resumes.
kdb is disabled by default and you must enter the kernel kdb command in global configuration mode to enable it. If kdb has been previously enabled, you can enter the no kernel kdb global configuration command to disable it. When kdb is enabled, you can activate it manually from the local console by pressing Ctrl-_ followed by Ctrl-B.
The WAAS device is often unattended at many sites, and it is desirable for the WAAS device to automatically reboot after generating a core dump instead of requiring user intervention. Disabling the kernel debugger allows automatic recovery.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable, and then disable, access to the kernel debugger:

To system logging to a disk file, use the logging disk global configuration command. To disable logging functions, use the no form of this command.
logging disk {enable | filename filename | priority loglevel | recycle size}
no logging disk {enable | filename filename | priority loglevel | recycle size}
Syntax Description
Defaults
Logging: on
Priority of message for disk log file: debug (7)
Log file: /local1/syslog.txt
Log file recycle size: 10,000,000 bytes
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
central-manager
Usage Guidelines
Use the logging command to set specific parameters of the system log file.
The no logging disk recycle size command sets the file size to the default value. Whenever the current log file size surpasses the recycle size, the log file is rotated. The log file cycles through at most five rotations, and they are saved as [log file name].[1-5] under the same directory as the original log. The rotated log file is the one configured using the logging disk filename command.
Examples
The following example shows how to send messages that have a priority code of "error" (level 3) to a file:
WAE(config)#
logging disk priority error
Related Commands
(config) logging facility
To set the facility parameter for system logging, use the logging facility global configuration command. To disable logging functions, use the no form of this command.

(config) policy-engine application classifier
To create or edit an existing application classifier on a WAE, use the policy-engine application classifier global configuration command. To delete an application classifier or a condition, use the no form of this command.
policy-engine application
classifier classifier-name [list | match
{all | dst {host hostname | ip ip_address | port {eq port | range port1 port2}} |
src {host hostname | ip ip_address | port {eq port | range port1 port2}}}]
no policy-engine application classifier classifier-name
Syntax Description
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
Usage Guidelines
You can use this command to add or modify rules, also known as match conditions, to identify specific types of traffic. You can also use this command to list the classifier match conditions.
You cannot delete a classifier if any policies are using it. When creating a new application classifier or adding an existing application classifier, the WAAS CLI enters into a submode allowing you to specify one or more conditions. However, if the condition specified matches an already existing condition in the classifier conditions list, no action is taken. You can delete a condition by using the no form of this command. When creating a new classifier, you must add at least one condition.
Note You cannot have more than 512 different application classifiers.
The WAAS software comes with over 150 default application policies that help your WAAS system classify and optimize some of the most common traffic on your network. Before you create a new application policy, we recommend that you review the default policies and modify them as appropriate. It is usually easier to modify an existing policy than to create a new one. For a list of the default applications and classifiers that WAAS will either optimize or pass through based on the policies that come bundled with the system, see the Cisco Wide Area Application Services Configuration Guide.
Note We strongly recommend that you use the WAAS Central Manager GUI to centrally configure application policies for your WAEs. For more information, see the Cisco Wide Area Application Services Configuration Guide.

Specifies the DSCP marking value, as shown in Table 3-2. |
Defaults
No default behavior or values.
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
Usage Guidelines
The DSCP field in an IP packet enables different levels of service to be assigned to network traffic. Levels of service are assigned by marking each packet on the network with a DSCP code. DSCP is the combination of IP Precedence and Type of Service (ToS) fields. For more information, see RFC 2474.
A DSCP value is assigned in an application definition or an application policy map and applies to all traffic associated with the application or policy map. If a DSCP value is not assigned or defined, the default DSCP value is applied to traffic. The global default DSCP value is copy, which copies the DSCP value from the incoming packet and uses it for the outgoing packet.
Table 3-2 lists the valid DSCP marking values that you can specify.
Examples
The following example shows how to set the default DSCP marking value to copy:
WAE(config)# policy-engine application set-dscp copy

(config) port-channel
To configure the port channel load-balancing options on a WAAS device, use the port-channel global configuration command. To set load balancing on the port channel to its default method, use the no form of this command.
port-channel load-balance {src-dst-ip-port | round-robin}
no port-channel load-balance {src-dst-ip-port | round-robin}
Syntax Description
Defaults
Round-robin is the default load-balancing method.
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
central-manager
Usage Guidelines
The port-channel load-balance command configures one of two load-balancing algorithms and provides flexibility in choosing interfaces when an Ethernet frame is sent. The round-robin option allows evenly balanced usage of identical network interfaces in a channel group. Because this command takes effect globally, if two channel groups are configured, they must use the same load-balancing option.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure IP load balancing on a port channel and then disable it:
WAE(config)# port-channel load-balance src-dst-ip-port
WAE(config)# no port-channel load-balance
(config) primary-interface
To configure the primary interface for a WAAS device, use the primary-interface global configuration command. To remove the configured primary interface, use the no form of this command.
primary-interface {GigabitEthernet 1-2/port | PortChannel 1| Standby 1| inlineGroup slot/grpnumber}
no primary-interface {GigabitEthernet 1-2/port | PortChannel 1 | Standby 1 | inlineGroup slot/grpnumber}
Syntax Description
Defaults
The default primary interface is the Gigabit Ethernet 1/0 interface. If this interface is not configured, then the first operational interface on which a link beat is detected becomes the default primary interface. Interfaces with lower number IDs are polled first (for example, Gigabit Ethernet 1/0 is checked before 2/0). The Gigabit Ethernet interfaces are polled before the port-channel interfaces.
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
central-manager
Usage Guidelines
You can change the primary interface without disabling the WAAS device. To change the primary interface, reenter the command string and specify a different interface.
Note If you use the restore factory-default preserve basic-config command, the configuration for the primary interface is not preserved. If you want to reenable the WAAS device after using the restore factory-default preserve basic-config command, make sure to reconfigure the primary interface after the factory defaults are restored.
Setting the primary interface to be a Standby group does not imply that Standby functionality is available. You must configure Standby interfaces using the interface standby global configuration command.
Examples
The following example shows how to specify the Gigabit Ethernet slot 1, port 0 as the primary interface on a WAAS device:
WAE(config)# primary-interface GigabitEthernet 1/0
The following example shows how to specify the Gigabit Ethernet slot 2, port 0 as the primary interface on a WAAS device:

central-manager
Usage Guidelines
RADIUS authentication is disabled by default. You can enable RADIUS authentication and other authentication methods at the same time. You can also specify which method to use first. (See the (config) authentication configuration command.)
You can configure multiple RADIUS servers; authentication is attempted on the primary server first. If the primary server is unreachable, then authentication is attempted on the other servers in the RADIUS farm, in the order in which they were configured. If authentication fails for any reason other than a server is unreachable, authentication is not attempted on the other servers in the farm. This process applies regardless of the setting of the authentication fail-over server-unreachable command.
Examples
The following example shows how to specify a RADIUS server, specify the RADIUS key, and accept retransmit defaults. You can verify the configuration using the show radius-server command.
WAE(config)# radius-server host 172.16.90.121
WAE(config)# radius-server key myradiuskey

Usage Guidelines
Legacy print services are deprecated and no longer supported in WAAS 4.2.x and later. We recommend using the Windows print accelerator (see the (config) accelerator windows-print command).
The smb.conf file contains a variety of print-related parameters. Global parameters apply to the server. Service level parameters, which define default settings for all other sections and shares, allow you to avoid the need to set the same value repeatedly. You can override these globally set share settings and specify other values for each individual section or share. Print$ parameters apply to the printers. Printers parameters, which apply to the shares, make it possible to share all printers with a minimal configuration. These parameters apply as defaults to all printers.
Table 3-3 describes the print-related parameters.

Usage Guidelines
In the WAAS software the following six generic alarm traps are available in the CISCO-CONTENT-ENGINE-MIB:
Note By default, these six general alarm traps are disabled.
These six general alarm traps provide SNMP and Node Health Manager integration. You can enable or disable each of these six alarm traps through the WAAS CLI.
To configure traps, you must enter the snmp-server enable traps command. If you do not enter the snmp-server enable traps command, no traps are sent.
The snmp-server enable traps command is used with the snmp-server host command. Use the snmp-server host command to specify which host or hosts receive SNMP traps. To send traps, you must configure at least one host using the snmp-server host command.
To allow a host to receive a trap, you must enable both the snmp-server enable traps command and the snmp-server host command for that host.
You must enable SNMP with the snmp-server community command.
To disable the sending of the MIB-II SNMP authentication trap, you must enter the command no snmp-server enable traps snmp authentication.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable the WAAS device to send all traps to the host 172.31.2.160 using the community string public:
WAE(config)# snmp-server enable traps
WAE(config)# snmp-server host 172.31.2.160 public

(config) sshd
To enable the SSH daemon on a WAAS device, use the sshd global configuration command. To disable the SSH daemon on a WAAS device, use the no form of this command.
sshd {allow-non-admin-users | enable | password-guesses number | timeout seconds |
version {1 | 2}}
no sshd {allow-non-admin-users | enable | password-guesses number | timeout seconds |
version {1 | 2}}
Syntax Description
Defaults
By default, the SSH daemon is disabled on a WAAS device. If you use the sshd enable command to enable the SSH daemon on a WAAS device, the following default settings are used:
password-guesses number: 3 guesses
timeout seconds: 300 seconds
version: Both SSH Version 1 and 2 are enabled.
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
central-manager
Usage Guidelines
Before you enable the sshd command, use the ssh-key-generate command to generate a private and a public host key, which the client uses to verify the server identity.
Although the sshd password-guesses command specifies the number of allowable password guesses from the SSH server side, the actual number of password guesses for an SSH login session is determined by the combined number of allowable password guesses of the SSH server and the SSH client. Some SSH clients limit the maximum number of allowable password guesses to three (or to one in some cases), even though SSH server side allows more than this number of guesses.
When you enter the sshd password-guesses command and speciry n allowable password guesses, certain SSH clients interpret this number as n+1. For example, when configuring the number of guesses to two by issuing the command sshd password-guesses 2 for a particular device, SSH sessions from some SSH clients will allow three password guesses.
You can enable both SSH Version 1 and Version 2, or you can enable one version and not the other. When you enable the SSH daemon using the sshd enable global configuration command, support for both SSH Version 1 and SSH Version 2 is enabled. If you want the WAAS device to support only one version of SSH (for example SSH version 2), you must disable the other version. For example, to disable SSH Version 1, enter the no sshd version 1 command.
If the SSH daemon is currently enabled on a WAAS device, at least one version of SSH must be enabled on the device. Before you can disable both versions of SSH, you must enter the no sshd enable command to disable the SSH daemon on the WAAS device. If you attempt to disable both versions of SSH before you have disabled the SSH daemon, the following message will appear on your console informing you that you must disable the SSH daemon before you can disable both versions of SSH:
WAE(config)#
no sshd version 1
WAE(config)#
no sshd version 2
Atleast SSHv1 or SSHv2 must be enabled with sshd enabled.
Disable sshd to disable both SSHv1 and SSHv2.
Did not update ssh version support. Please retry.
When support for both SSH version 1 and SSH version 2 are enabled in the WAAS device, the show running-config EXEC command output does not display any SSHD configuration.
If you have disabled the support for one version of SSH, the show running-config EXEC command output contains the following line:
no sshd version version_number
Note You can use the Telnet daemon with the WAAS device. SSH does not replace Telnet.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable and configure a Secure Shell daemon on the WAAS device:
WAE(config)#
sshd enable
WAE(config)#
sshd password-guesses 4
WAE(config)#
sshd timeout 20
The following example shows how to disable the support for SSH Version 1 in the WAAS device:
WAE(config)# no sshd version 1
Related Commands
(config) ssh-key-generate
To generate the SSH host key for a WAAS device, use the ssh-key-generate global configuration command. To remove the SSH key, use the no form of this command.
ssh-key-generate [key-length length]
no ssh-key-generate [key-length length]
Syntax Description
key-length length |
(Optional) Configures the length of the SSH key. The number of bits is 512-2048. |
Defaults
key-length length: 1024 bits
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
central-manager
Usage Guidelines
Before you enter the sshd enable command, enter the ssh-key-generate command to generate a private and a public host key, which the client programs use to verify a server identity.
When you use an SSH client and log in to a WAAS device, the public key for the SSH daemon that is running on the device is recorded in the client machine known_hosts file in your home directory. If you regenerate the host key by specifying the number of bits in the key-length command option, you must delete the old public key entry associated with the WAAS device in the known_hosts file before running the SSH client program to log in to the WAAS device. When you use the SSH client program after deleting the old entry, the known_hosts file is updated with the new SSH public key for the WAAS device.
Examples
The following example shows how to generate an SSH public key and then enables the SSH daemon on the WAAS device:
WAE(config)#
ssh-key-generate
Ssh host key generated successfully
Saving the host key to box ...
Host key saved successfully
WAE(config)#

(config) tacacs
To configure TACACS+ server parameters on a WAAS device, use the tacacs global configuration command. To disable individual options, use the no form of this command.
tacacs {host {hostname | ip-address} [primary] | key keyword | password ascii | retransmit retries | timeout seconds}
no tacacs {host {hostname | ip-address} [primary] | key keyword | password ascii | retransmit retries | timeout seconds}
Syntax Description
Defaults
keyword: none (empty string)
timeout seconds: 5
retries: 2
password: The default password type is PAP.
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
central-manager
Usage Guidelines
To enable user authentication with a TACACS+ server, use the authentication global configuration command. (See the (config) authentication configuration command.)
Note When AAA Command Authorization is enabled for a device through the Central Manager GUI, TACACS+ CLI configuration changes are not allowed and tacacs commands will fail.
You can use the TACACS+ remote database to maintain login and configuration privileges for administrative users. The tacacs host command allows you to configure the network parameters required to access the remote database.
Use the tacacs key command to specify the TACACS+ key, used to encrypt the packets transmitted to the server. This key must be the same as the one specified on the server daemon. The maximum number of characters in the key should not exceed 99 printable ASCII characters (except tabs). An empty key string is the default. All leading spaces are ignored; spaces within and at the end of the key string are not ignored. Double quotes are not required even if there are spaces in the key, unless the quotes themselves are part of the key.
The tacacs timeout is the number of seconds that the WAAS device waits before declaring a timeout on a request to a particular TACACS+ server. The range is from 1 to 20 seconds, with 5 seconds as the default. The number of times that the WAAS device repeats a retry-timeout cycle before trying the next TACACS+ server is specified by the tacacs retransmit command. The default is two retry attempts.
Three unsuccessful login attempts are permitted. TACACS+ logins may appear to take more time than local logins depending on the number of TACACS+ servers and the configured timeout and retry values.
Use the tacacs password ascii command to specify the TACACS+ password type as ASCII. The default password type is PAP (Password Authentication Protocol).When the no tacacs password ascii command is used to disable the ASCII password type, the password type is once again reset to PAP.
You can configure multiple TACACS+ servers; authentication is attempted on the primary server first. If the primary server is unreachable, then authentication is attempted on the other servers in the TACACS+, in the order in which they were configured. If authentication fails for any reason other than a server is unreachable, authentication is not attempted on the other servers in the farm. This process applies regardless of the setting of the authentication fail-over server-unreachable command.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure the key used in encrypting packets:
WAE(config)# tacacs key human789
The following example shows how to configure the host named spearhead as the primary TACACS+ server:
WAE(config)# tacacs host spearhead primary
The following example shows how to set the timeout interval for the TACACS+ server:
WAE(config)# tacacs timeout 10
The following example shows how to set the number of times that authentication requests are retried (retransmitted) after a timeout:
WAE(config)# tacacs retransmit 5
The following example shows the password type to be PAP by default:
WAE# show tacacs

(config) wccp flow-redirect
To enable WCCP flow redirection on a WAE, use the wccp flow-redirect global configuration command. To disable flow redirection, use the no form of this command.
wccp flow-redirect enable
no wccp flow-redirect enable
Syntax Description
enable |
Enables flow redirection. |
Defaults
Enabled
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
Usage Guidelines
Use the wccp flow-redirect global configuration command to implement WCCP flow protection. Flow protection is designed to keep the TCP flow intact as well as to not overwhelm WAEs when they are first started up or are reassigned new traffic. This feature also has a slow start mechanism where the WAEs try to take a load appropriate for their capacity.
Note When you enable bypass, the client tries to reach the origin web server. You must disable all bypass options to eliminate an unnecessary burden on the network.
WCCP works only with IPv4 networks.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable WCCP flow protection on a WAE:
WAE(config)# wccp flow-redirect enable
Related Commands

Defaults
Disabled
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
Usage Guidelines
Each router list can contain up to 32 routers and you can have up to 8 router lists.
Note Do not create or modify router list number 8. The WAAS Central Manager uses router list number 8 for a default router list that contains the default gateway.
Note The ip wccp global configuration command must be used to enable WCCP on each router that is included on the router list.
WCCP works only with IPv4 networks.
Examples
The following example shows how that router list number 7 is created and contains a single router (the WCCP Version 2-enabled router with IP address 192.168.68.98):
WAE(config)# wccp router-list 7 192.168.68.98
The following example shows how to delete the router list number 7 created in the previous example:
WAE(config)# no wccp router-list 7 192.168.68.98
The following example shows how to create a router list (router list 1) and then configure the WAE to accept redirected TCP traffic from the WCCP Version 2-enabled router on router list 1:
WAE(config)#
wccp router-list 1 10.10.10.2
WAE(config)#
wccp tcp-promiscuous router-list 1
WAE(config)#

Related Commands
(config) wccp shutdown
To set the maximum time interval after which the WAE will perform a clean shutdown of the WCCP, use the wccp shutdown global configuration command. To disable the clean shutdown, use the no form of this command.
wccp shutdown max-wait seconds
no wccp shutdown max-wait seconds
Syntax Description
max-wait seconds |

Defaults
The maximum time interval before a clean shutdown is 120 seconds by default.
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
Usage Guidelines
To prevent broken TCP connections, the WAE performs a clean shutdown of the WCCP after you enter the reload or wccp version command. The WAE does not reboot until either all connections have been serviced or the configured max-wait interval has elapsed.
Note WCCP works only with IPv4 networks.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure the WAE to wait 1000 seconds:
WAE(config)# wccp shutdown max-wait 1000
The following example shows how to shut down WCCP Version 2 on the WAE by entering the no wccp version 2 command. In this case, after you enter the no wccp version 2 command, the WAE waits 1000 seconds before it shuts down WCCP Version 2.
WAE(config)#
no wccp version 2
A countdown message appears, indicating how many seconds remain before WCCP will be shut down on the WAE:
Waiting (999 seconds) for WCCP shutdown. Press ^C to skip shutdown
The clean shutdown can be aborted while in progress by simultaneously pressing ^C after the countdown message appears.

To configure the egress method for WCCP intercepted connections, use the egress-method global configuration command.
Note WCCP works with IPv4 networks only.
Examples
The following example shows how to turn on the TCP promiscuous mode service and associate this service with the router list:
WAE # wccp tcp-promiscuous router-list-num 1
WCCP configuration for TCP Promiscuous service 61 succeeded.
WCCP configuration for TCP Promiscuous succeeded.
Please remember to configure WCCP service 61 and 62 on the corresponding router.
Related Commands
(config) wccp version
To specify the version of WCCP that the WAE should use, enter the wccp version global configuration command. To disable the currently running version, use the no form of this command.
wccp version 2
no wccp version 2
Syntax Description
This command has no arguments or keywords.
Defaults
No default behavior or values.
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
Usage Guidelines
You must configure a WAE to use WCCP Version 2 instead of WCCP Version 1 because WCCP Version 1 only supports web traffic (port 80).
The WAE performs a clean shutdown after a reload or no wccp version 2 command is entered. A clean shutdown prevents broken TCP connections.
Note WCCP works only with IPv4 networks.
Examples
The following example shows how to enable WCCP Version 2 on a WAE:
WAE(config)# wccp version 2

(config) windows-domain
To configure Windows domain server options on a WAAS device, use the windows-domain global configuration command. To disable this feature, use the no form of this command.
windows-domain {administrative group {normal-user | super-user} groupname |
comment string | netbios-name name | password-server {hostname | ipaddress} |
realm kerberos-realm | wins-server {hostname | ipaddress} | workgroup name |
security ADS}
no windows-domain {administrative group {normal-user | super-user} groupname |
comment string | netbios-name | password-server {hostname | ipaddress} |
realm kerberos-realm | wins-server {hostname | ipaddress} | workgroup name |
security ADS}
Syntax Description
Defaults
Windows domain options are disabled by default.
Command Modes
global configuration
Device Modes
application-accelerator
central-manager
Usage Guidelines
Use this global configuration command to set the Windows domain server parameters for a WAAS device.
When you enable Kerberos authentication, the default realm is DOMAIN.COM and the security is ADS. If you disable Kerberos authentication, the security is domain.
Note WAAS supports authentication by a Windows domain controller running only on Windows Server 2000 or Windows Server 2003.
Examples
The following example shows how to configure the Windows domain server at 10.10.24.1 for an Edge FE with a NetBIOS name of myFileEngine in the ABD domain. It also identifies the password server:
WAE(config)#
windows-domain wins-server 10.10.24.1
WAE(config)#
windows-domain password-server 10.10.100.4
WAE(config)#
windows-domain netbios-name myFileEngine
WAE(config)#
windows-domain workgroup ABC
The following example shows how to configure the windows domain server when Kerberos authentication is enabled using the kerberos command:
WAE(config)# windows-domain realm ABC.COM
WAE(config)# windows security ADS
