Basic Configuration
The basic NAM configuration includes the following tasks:
• Configuring the setup (see Configuring the Basic Setup, page 1-3).
– Connect to a NAM server by providing the server’s IP address, protocol, and port.
– Establish account credentials.
– Associate a WAAS device group or WAAS Express device group with configured policies.
– Enable Flow Agent.
• Configuring Sites—To display accurate data on charts and dashboards, every site on which WAAS
is planned to be deployed must be configured on the NAM (see Configuring a Site, page 1-5).
Configuring sites involves the following tasks:
– Define sites
– Use definition rules
– Specify sites using subnets
• Configuring monitored servers (see Configuring a WAAS Monitored Server, page 1-10).
– Specify the servers to be monitored by the NAM using the WAAS device’s flow monitoring.
– Enabling NetFlow and flow agent data sources on the actual devices, with the NAM as the
collector, to automatically create the device entries in the NAM.
Advanced Configuration
Advanced NAM configuration includes the following tasks:
• Configuring and synchronizing user-defined Classifiers and Applications with the NAM (see
Synchronizing Classifiers and Applications, page 1-10).
• Creating and editing an auto-created WAAS data source to monitor WAAS traffic statistics (see
Configuring a Data Source, page 1-11).
• Changing system preferences (see Setting Preferences, page 1-14).
• Launching the NAM user interface (see Launching the NAM User Interface, page 1-14).
Configuring the Basic Setup
Only device group level policy configurations are applicable for NAM.
Step 1 From the WAAS Central manager menu, choose Configure > Network Analysis Module > Basics >
