(config) primary-interface

To configure the primary interface for a WAAS device, use the primary-interface command in global

configuration mode. To remove the configured primary interface, use the no form of the command.

primary-interface {GigabitEthernet 1-2/port | PortChannel 1-2 | Standby group_num}

Syntax Description

Defaults The default primary interface is the Gigabit Ethernet 1/0 interface. If this 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 The primary-interface global configuration command permits the administrator to specify the primary

interface for the WAAS device.

The primary interface can be changed 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 relevant Standby interfaces using the interface standby global

configuration command.

GigabitEthernet Selects a Gigabit Ethernet interface as the primary interface of the WAAS

device.

1-2/ Gigabit Ethernet slot number 1 or 2.

port Port number of the Gigabit Ethernet interface.

PortChannel Selects a port channel interface as the primary interface of the WAAS device.

1-2 Port Channel number 1 or 2.

Standby Selects a standby group as the primary interface of the WAAS device.

group_num Standby group number 1–4.
