Chapter 3 CLI Commands
(config) primary-interface
(config) primary-interface
To configure the primary interface for a WAAS device, use the primary-interface global configuration
command. To remove the configured primary interface, use the no form of this command.
primary-interface {GigabitEthernet 1-2/port | PortChannel 1| Standby 1| inlineGroup
slot/grpnumber}
no primary-interface {GigabitEthernet 1-2/port | PortChannel 1 | Standby 1 | inlineGroup
slot/grpnumber}
Syntax Description
Defaults The default primary interface is the Gigabit Ethernet 1/0 interface. If this interface 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 You can change the primary interface 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 Standby interfaces using the interface standby global configuration
command.
GigabitEthernet
1-2/port
Selects a Gigabit Ethernet interface as the primary interface of the WAAS
device. Slot number 1 or 2 and port number.
PortChannel 1 Selects a port channel interface as the primary interface of the WAAS device.
(Only one port channel interface is supported.)
Standby 1 Selects a standby group as the primary interface of the WAAS device. (Only
one standby group is supported.)
inlineGroup
slot/grpnumber
Selects an interface on the Cisco WAE Inline Network Adapter as the
primary interface of the WAAS device. The group number for the inline
feature is either 0 or 1 (each adapter has 2 grouped pairs).
