(config) auto-register
(config) auto-register
To enable the discovery of a Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet WAE and its automatic registration with
the WAAS Central Manager through the 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]
no 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 that run the WAAS software (with the exception of the WAAS Central
Manager) automatically discover the WAAS Central Manager and register with it. You do not have to do
any manual configuration on the device. Once the WAE is registered, you can approve the device and
configure it remotely using the WAAS Central Manager GUI.
You can use the auto-register enable command to allow 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.
Note You must disable autoregistration when both device interfaces are configured as port-channel interfaces.
For autoregistration to work, you must have a DHCP server that is configured with the hostname of the
WAAS Central Manager and that is capable of handling vendor class option 43.
Note The DHCP that is used for autoregistration is not the same as the interface-level DHCP that is
configurable through the ip address dhcp interface configuration command.
enable Enables the automatic registration of devices using DHCP with the WAAS
Central Manager.
FastEthernet slot/port (Optional) Selects a Fast Ethernet interface for automatic registration using
DHCP. Slot number and port number of the Fast Ethernet interface. Valid
slot values are from 0 to 3.
GigabitEthernet
slot/port
(Optional) Selects a Gigabit Ethernet interface for automatic registration
using DHCP. Slot number and port number of the Gigabit Ethernet
interface. Valid slot values are 1 or 2.
