Registering the WAAS Express Device
The final step in setting up a WAAS Express device with the Central Manager is to register the device.
You will need to know the IP address of the Central Manager.
To register a WAAS Express device with the Central Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1 On the WAAS Express device, register with the Central Manager:
waas-express#waas cm-register https://CM_IP_Address:8443/wcm/register
In the URL for this command, specify the Central Manager IP address as indicated. Be sure to include a
colon and the port number of 8443.
If a permanent WAAS license is not installed on the WAAS Express device, you must accept the terms
of the evaluation license to continue. The evaluation license is valid for 60 days.
Step 2 Save the running configuration:
waas-express#write memory
Building configuration...
[OK]
After the successful registration of the WAAS Express device in the Central Manager, the Central
Manager initially shows the device on the Manage Devices page with a management status of Pending
and a license status of Active. After the Central Manager retrieves the device configuration and status,
the management status changes to Online and the license status changes to Permanent (or Evaluation,
Expires in x weeks y days).
Reimporting WAAS Express Certificate
If the WAAS Express device certificate changes after you have registered the WAAS Express device with
the Central Manager, you must reimport a matching certificate into the Central Manager.
To reimport a WAAS Express device certificate, follow these steps:
Step 1 From the WAAS Central Manager menu, choose Devices > device-name.
Step 2 Choose Admin > Security > WAAS Express Certificate. The Modifying WAAS Express device
certificate window appears, as shown in Figure 1-2.
The Certificate Info tab shows the certificate information for the WAAS Express device. The Certificate
in PEM Encoded Format tab shows the certificate in PEM format. You can copy the certificate from this
tab to use in the paste operation in the next step.
