Chapter 3 CLI Commands

show device-mode

To display the configured or current device mode of a WAAS device, use the show device-mode EXEC

command.

show device-mode {configured | current}

Syntax Description

Command Modes EXEC

Device Modes application-accelerator

central-manager

Usage Guidelines You must deploy the WAAS Central Manager on a dedicated appliance. The device mode feature allows

you to deploy a WAAS device as either a WAAS Central Manager or a WAE. Because you must deploy

a WAAS Central Manager on a dedicated appliance, a WAAS device can only operate in one device

mode; either in central-manager mode or application-accelerator mode.

If the configured and current device modes differ, a reload is required for the configured device mode to

take effect.

To display the current device mode of a WAAS device, enter the show device mode EXEC command:

WAE# show device mode

To display the current mode in which the WAAS device is operating, enter the show device-mode

current EXEC command:

WAE# show device-mode current

Current device mode: application-accelerator

To display the configured device mode that has not yet taken effect, enter the show device-mode

configured EXEC command. For example, if you had entered the device mode central-manager global

configuration command on a WAAS device to change its device mode to central manager but have not

yet entered the copy run start EXEC command to save the running configuration on the device, then if

you were to enter the show device-mode configured command on the WAAS device, the command

output would indicate that the configured device mode is central-manager:

WAE# show device-mode configured

Configured device mode: central-manager

configured Displays the configured device mode, which has not taken effect yet.

current Displays the current device mode.
