Chapter 1 Using the WAAS Command-Line Interface
Using Command Modes
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. See the
“Saving Configuration Changes”
section on page 1-9. 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.
From configuration modes, you can enter configuration submodes. Configuration submodes are used for
the configuration of specific features within the scope of a given configuration mode. As an example,
this chapter describes the subinterface configuration mode, a submode of the interface configuration
mode.
To exit global configuration mode, use the end global configuration command:
WAE(config)# end
WAE#
You can also exit global configuration mode by entering the exit command or by pressing Ctrl-Z.
Global configuration commands are entered in global configuration mode.
Configuration changes that you make in global configuration mode on a WAE are propagated to the
Centralized Management System (CMS) database on the WAAS Central Manager. CLI changes are sent
to the Central Manager after you exit out of configuration mode, or if all configuration mode sessions
have been inactive for 10 minutes.
Using the Interface Configuration Mode
Use the interface configuration mode for setting, viewing, and testing the configuration of WAAS
software features on a specific interface. To enter this mode, enter the interface command from the
global configuration mode. The following example demonstrates how to enter interface configuration
mode:
WAE# configure
WAE(config)# interface ?
GigabitEthernet Select a gigabit ethernet interface to configure
InlineGroup Select an inline group interface to configure
InlinePort Select an inline port interface to configure
PortChannel Ethernet Channel of interfaces
Standby Standby groups
WAE(config)# interface gigabitethernet ?
<1-2>/ GigabitEthernet slot/port
WAE(config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/0
WAE(config-if)#
To exit interface configuration mode, enter exit to return to global configuration mode:
WAE(config-if)# exit
WAE(config)#
The interface configuration commands are entered in interface configuration mode.
