Configuring the NAM
The following details for the sites display:
• Name—Lists the name of the site.
• Description—Describes what the site includes.
• Rule—Lists the first rule that is assigned to the selected site. If you see periods next to the site rule
(...), that means that multiple rules were created for that site. To see the list of all rules, click the
quick view icon (after highlighting the site, click the small arrow on the right).
• Status—Shows if the site is enabled or disabled.
Defining Sites
You can define a site.
Step 1 From the WAAS Central Manager menu, choose Configure > Network Analysis Module > Basics >
Sites.
The Sites window appears. This window lists the sites that are set up on the NAM module.
Step 2 Click the Create button. The Sites Configuration window displays.
Step 3 In the Name field, enter a name for the site.
Step 4 In the Description field, enter a description for the site.
Step 5 Check the Disable Sites check box if you want the NAM to skip this site when classifying traffic. This
feature is useful if the site is no longer active, but you would still like to access historical site data in the
database. Otherwise, you should delete sites that are not needed.
Step 6 In the Subnet field, enter the IP address subnet (IPv4/IPv6 address and mask); for example, 10.1.1.0/24.
Step 7 Click the blue i to get information about the site rules.
Step 8 Click the Detect button to tell the NAM to look for subnets in the traffic. See Detecting a Subnet,
page 1-8.
Step 9 In the Data Source field, specify the data source where the site traffic is coming from.
Leave this field blank if the site traffic can come from multiple data sources.
Step 10 In the VLAN field, specify the VLAN where the site traffic is coming from. This field is not valid for
NDE and WAAS data sources.
Leave this field blank if the site traffic can come from multiple VLANs.
Step 11 Click the Submit button.
Note The “Unassigned” site (with a description of “Unclassified hosts”) includes any sites that do not
match any of your site configurations. Sites are classified at the time the packets are processed.
Detecting a Subnet
You can detect a subnet.
