Configuring Optimization on WAAS Express Interfaces
WAAS Express device interfaces are configured by using the router CLI, not through the WAAS Central
Manager. However, you can enable or disable WAAS optimization on the available interfaces on the
router.
To enable or disable WAAS optimization on WAAS Express device interfaces, follow these steps:
Step 1 From the WAAS Central Manager menu, choose Devices > WAAS-Express-device-name (or Device
Groups > WAAS-Express-device-group-name).
Step 2 Choose Configure > Network > Network Interfaces. The Network Interfaces window appears and lists
the available interfaces. (See Figure 1-2.)
Note Loopback interfaces are not included because they are not valid interfaces for optimization.
Null, Virtual-Access, NVI, and Embedded-Service interfaces are also not supported.
Figure 1-2 WAAS Express Network Interfaces Device Window
For a device group, the Network Interfaces window appears differently and displays an interface name,
the number of devices that contain that interface, and the Optimization check box, which is checked if
any devices in the group have optimization enabled on the interface. A message describes how many
devices have optimization enabled on the interface. (See Figure 1-3.)
