Chapter 1 Using the WAAS Command-Line Interface

Using Command-Line Processing

Shutting down all services, will Reload requested by CLI@ttyS0.

Restarting system.

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

EXEC command:

WAE# show device-mode current

Current device mode: application-accelerator

Displaying the Configured Device Mode

You can display the configured device mode for a change that has not taken effect by using the show

device-mode configured EXEC command.

For example, if you changed the device mode to central-manager on a WAAS device (using the device

mode central-manager global configuration command), but did not save the running configuration

(using the copy run start EXEC command) then, even though the new device mode has not taken effect,

the output for the show device-mode configured command would indicate that the configured device

mode is central-manager:

WAE# show device-mode configured

Configured device mode: central-manager

Using Command-Line Processing

Cisco WAAS software commands are not case sensitive. You can abbreviate commands and parameters

as long as they contain enough letters to be different from any other currently available commands or

parameters.

You can also scroll through the last 20 commands stored in the history buffer and enter or edit the

command at the prompt. Table 1-2 lists and describes the function performed by the available WAAS

command-line processing options.
