Chapter 1 Using the WAAS Command-Line Interface
Using Command Modes
• 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.
• PKI certificate authority configuration mode—Configures public key infrastructure (PKI)
encryption certificate authorities on a WAAS device. To use this mode, enter the crypto pki ca
command.
• PKI global settings configuration mode—Configures OCSP and revocation checking on a WAAS
device. To use this mode, enter the crypto pki global-settings command.
• SSL accelerated service configuration mode—Enables and configures secure socket layer (SSL)
acceleration on your WAAS system. To use this mode, enter the crypto ssl service
accelerated-service command.
• SSL cipher list configuration mode—Configures SSL encryption cipher lists on a WAAS device. To
use this mode, enter the crypto ssl cipher-list command.
• SSL global service configuration mode—Enables and configures basic SSL acceleration settings on
your WAAS system. To use this mode, enter the crypto ssl services global-settings command.
• SSL host peering service configuration mode—Configures SSL encryption peering services on a
WAAS device. To use this mode, enter the crypto ssl services host-service peering command.
• SSL management service configuration mode—Configures SSL encryption management service
parameters on a WAAS device,. To use this mode, enter the crypto ssl management-service
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, virtual blade configuration mode, PKI certificate authority configuration mode, PKI
global settings configuration mode, SSL accelerated service configuration mode, SSL cipher list
configuration mode, SSL global service configuration mode, SSL host peering service configuration
mode, and SSL management service configuration mode).
Using EXEC Mode
Use the EXEC mode to set, view, and test system operations. The user EXEC commands allow you to
connect to remote devices, change terminal line settings on a temporary basis, perform basic tests, and
list system information.
Most EXEC mode commands are one-time commands, such as show or more commands, which show
the current configuration status, and clear commands, which clear counters or interfaces. EXEC mode
commands are not saved across reboots of the WAE.
EXEC Mode Levels
The EXEC mode is divided into two access levels: user and privileged. The user EXEC mode is used by
local and general system administrators, while the privileged EXEC mode is used by the root
administrator. Use the enable and disable commands to switch between the two levels.
• User level—Access to the user-level EXEC command line requires a valid password. The user-level
EXEC commands are a subset of the privileged-level EXEC commands. The user-level EXEC
prompt is the hostname followed by a right angle bracket (>). You can change the hostname using
the hostname global configuration command.
