Chapter 1 Configuring Traffic Interception
Configuring VPATH Interception on a vWAAS Device
To disable serial peer optimization from the CLI, use the no peer device-id global configuration
command. To reenable serial peer optimization, use the peer device-id global configuration command.
To view the status of all serial cluster pairs registered with the Central Manager, from the WAAS Central
Manager menu, choose Configure > Global > Peer Settings. The Peer Settings status window appears,
as shown in Figure 1-11.
Figure 1-11 Peer Settings For All Devices Window
The window lists each WAE for which you have configured peer optimization settings. Verify that there
are two entries for each serial cluster pair, both with a check mark in the Mutual Pair column. There
should be an entry for each WAE in the pair (for example, the first and last entries in the figure).
If you see an entry without a check mark in the Mutual Pair column (like the third one in the figure), it
indicates a WAE on which a serial peer is configured, but the peer is not similarly configured with the
first device as its serial peer.
Configuring VPATH Interception on a vWAAS Device
VPATH intercepts traffic from the VM server, redirects it to a vWAAS device for WAN optimization,
and then returns the response back to the Virtual Ethernet Module (VEM). The vWAAS egress traffic
received by the VEM is forwarded without further VPATH interception.
Interception is configured on the server VM port profile in both directions.
To configure VPATH interception on a vWAAS device, follow these steps:
Step 1 From the WAAS Central Manager menu, choose Devices > device-name. (You cannot configure vWAAS
interface settings from device groups.)
Step 2 Choose Configure > Interception > Interception Configuration. The VPATH settings window
appears.
Note If you are configuring a device using a WAAS version earlier than 5.0, choose Configure >
Interception > VPATH to configure VPATH settings.
Step 3 From the Interception Method drop-down list, choose vn-service (VPATH on devices using WAAS
versions earlier than 5.0) to enable VPATH interception on the vWAAS device.
