Global Configuration Mode Commands
Use global configuration mode for setting, viewing, and testing configuration of WAAS software
features for the entire device. To enter this mode, enter the configure command from privileged EXEC
mode. The prompt for global configuration mode consists of the hostname of the WAE followed by
(config) and the pound sign (#). You must be in global configuration mode to enter global configuration
commands.
WAE# configure
WAE(config)#
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. 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.
To exit global configuration mode and return to privileged-level EXEC mode, use either the exit or end
global configuration command:
WAE(config)# exit
WAE#
