Chapter 1 Configuring Other System Settings
Managing WAAS Express Devices
Step 1 On the WAAS Express device, enable the HTTP secure server:
waas-express#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
waas-express(config)#ip http secure-server
Step 2 Configure authentication for the HTTP server for a local user as follows:
waas-express(config)#ip http authentication local
If you are using external TACACS+ or RADIUS user authentication, configure authentication for the
HTTP server as follows:
waas-express(config)#ip http authentication aaa
Note If you do not configure local or AAA authentication for the HTTP server, only the enable password is
used for authentication. (The default is ip http authentication enable, which uses only the enable
password and no username.) If this default configuration is used, it is not necessary to define a username
credential for the WAAS Express device on the Central Manager. (See the “Configuring a User” section
on page 1-30.)
Installing a License on the WAAS Express Device
The WAAS Express device requires a license to operate the WAAS Express software.
To install a permanent WAAS license, follow these steps:
Step 1 Obtain and copy the WAAS license to a location accessible to the license command on the WAAS
Express device.
Step 2 On the WAAS Express device, install the WAAS license:
waas-express#license install ftp://infra/licenses/FHH122500AZ_20100811190225615.lic
This example uses FTP to get and install the license but there are various options available for this
command. Choose one that best suits your deployment.
Step 3 Save the running configuration:
waas-express#write memory
Building configuration...
[OK]
Configuring an NTP Server
It is important to keep the time synchronized between devices in your WAAS network. You should
already have an NTP server configured for the Central Manager (see the “Configuring NTP Settings”
section on page 1-5).
To configure an NTP server for the WAAS Express device, on the WAAS Express device use the
ntp server global configuration command, as follows:
