Chapter 1 Configuring Traffic Interception
Using Inline Mode Interception
Note If you are configuring a device using a WAAS version earlier than 5.0, choose Configure >
Interception > Inline > Inline Interfaces to configure inline interface settings. The
configuration window looks different but has similar settings.
The Inline Interfaces window appears, listing the inline interface groups available on the device.
Step 3 Choose an inline group to configure and click the Edit taskbar icon. (For devices using WAAS versions
earlier than 5.0, click the Edit icon next to the interface.)
The Edit Inline Settings window appears, displaying the inline interface configurations for a particular
slot and port group. (See Figure 1-8.)

Step 4
Check the Use CDP check box to enable Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) on the inline group interfaces.
The Use CDP check box is not shown for devices using WAAS versions earlier than 5.0.
When enabled, CDP obtains protocol addresses of neighboring devices and discovers the platform of
those devices. It also shows information about the interfaces used by your router.
Configuring CDP from the CDP Settings window enables CDP globally on all the interfaces. For
information on configuring CDP settings, see the “Configuring CDP Settings” section on page 1-25.
Step 5 Check the Shutdown check box to shut down the inline group. This setting bridges traffic across the
LAN/WAN interfaces without any processing.
Step 6 In the Encapsulation field, enter the VLAN ID that is to be assigned to traffic that leaves the WAE. The
VLAN ID should be set to match the VLAN ID expected by the router.
For more information about the VLAN ID, see the “Configuring an IP Address on an Inline Interface”
section on page 1-51.
Step 7 From the Load Interval drop-down list, choose the interval in seconds at which to poll the interface for
statistics and calculate throughput. The default is 30 seconds. (The Load Interval item is not shown for
devices using WAAS versions earlier than 5.0.)
