Chapter 1 Introduction to Cisco WAAS
Overview of the WAAS Interfaces
In some situations, you might need to use the WAE Device Manager GUI to perform certain tasks. For
example, starting, stopping, and restarting the CIFS accelerator service can only be performed from the
WAE Device Manager GUI and not from the WAAS Central Manager GUI.
For more information about the tasks you can perform from the WAE Manager, see Chapter 1, “Using
the WAE Device Manager GUI.”
To access the WAE Device Manager for a specific device, go to the following URL:
https://Device IP Address:8443/mgr
Figure 1-5 shows an example of the WAE Device Manager window.

WAAS CLI
The WAAS CLI allows you to configure, manage, and monitor WAEs on a per-device basis through a
console connection or a terminal emulation program. The WAAS CLI also allows you to configure
certain features that are supported only through the CLI (for example, configuring the Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol [LDAP] signing on a WAE). We strongly recommend that you use the WAAS
Central Manager GUI instead of the WAAS CLI, whenever possible.
Note You must wait for approximately 10 minutes (two data feed poll cycles) after registering a WAE with the
WAAS Central Manager before making any CLI configuration changes on the WAE. Any CLI
configuration changes made sooner may be overwritten when the Central Manager updates the WAE. We
strongly recommend making all configuration changes by using the Central Manager GUI.
The WAAS CLI is organized into four command modes. Each command mode has its own set of
commands to use for the configuration, maintenance, and monitoring of a WAE. The commands that are
available to you depend on the mode you are in. When you enter a question mark (?) at the system
prompt, you can obtain a list of commands available for each command mode.
The four WAAS command modes are as follows:
