Organization of the WAAS CLI
The WAAS software CLI is organized into multiple command modes. Each command mode has its own
set of commands that allow you to configure, maintain, and monitor a WAAS Wide Area Appication
Engine (WAE). The commands available to you at any given time depend on the mode you are in. You
can enter a question mark (?) at the system prompt to obtain a list of commands available for each
command mode.
The WAAS command modes include the following:
• EXEC mode—Sets, views, and tests system operations. This mode is divided into two access levels:
user and privileged. To use the privileged access level, enter the enable command at the user access
level prompt, and then enter the privileged EXEC password when you see the password prompt.
• Global configuration mode—Sets, views, and tests the configuration of WAAS software features for
the entire device. To use this mode, enter the configure command from privileged EXEC mode.
• Interface configuration mode—Sets, views, and tests the configuration of a specific interface. To use
this mode, enter the interface command from global configuration mode.
• Standard ACL configuration mode—Creates and modifies standard access lists on a WAAS device
for controlling access to interfaces or applications. To use this mode, enter the ip access-list
standard command from global configuration mode.
• Extended ACL configuration mode—Creates and modifies extended access lists on a WAAS device
for controlling access to interfaces or applications. To use this mode, enter the ip access-list
extended command.
• Preposition configuration mode—Creates and modifies preposition directives on a WAAS device for
prepositioning files for WAFS. To use this mode, enter the accelerator cifs preposition command.
• Virtual blade configuration mode—Configures virtual blades that reside in a WAE or WAVE device
for additional services, including operating systems and applications, that work with the WAAS
device. To use this mode, enter the virtual-blade command.
Modes are accessed in this order: user EXEC mode, privileged EXEC mode, then global configuration
mode. From global configuration mode, you can access the configuration submodes (interface
configuration mode, standard ACL configuration mode, extended ACL configuration mode, preposition
configuration mode, and virtual blade mode).
