Chapter 3 CLI Commands

(config) auto-register

To enable discovery of a Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet WAE and its automatic registration with the

WAAS Central Manager through 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]

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 running WAAS software (with the exception of the WAAS Central

Manager itself) automatically discover the WAAS Central Manager and register with it. The

administrator does not have to do any manual configuration on the device. Once the WAE is registered,

the administrator approves the device and configures it remotely using the WAAS Central Manager GUI.

The auto-register enable command allows 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.

To assign a static IP address using the interface GigabitEthernet slot/port command, the automatic

registration of devices through DHCP must be disabled by using the no auto-register enable command,

because automatic registration through DHCP is enabled by default.

enable Enables the automatic registration of devices using DHCP with the WAAS

Central Manager.
