Configuring the NAM
• WAAS
The NAM Data Sources window lists the data sources that are configured for that NAM module The
fields are as follows:
• Device—DATA PORT if it is a local physical port or the IP address of the learned device.
• Type—The source of traffic for the NAM.
–
DATA PORT if it is a local physical port.
–
WAAS, ERSPAN, or NETFLOW if a data stream is exported from the router, switch, or WAE
device.
• Activity—Shows the most recent activity.
• Status—ACTIVE or INACTIVE.
• Data Source—Name given to the data source.
• Data Source Details—Physical Port, or information about the data source being enabled or disabled.
This section includes the following topics:
• Adding a Data Source for a New WAAS Device, page 1-12
• Auto Creating a New WAAS Device, page 1-13

Adding a Data Source for a New WAAS Device
The NAM uses WAAS data sources to monitor traffic that is collected from different WAAS segments:
Client, Client WAN, Server WAN, Server, and Passthrough. Each WAAS segment is represented by a
data source. You can set up the NAM to monitor and report other traffic statistics of the WAAS data
sources such as application, host, and conversation information in addition to the monitored Response
Time metrics.
Adding a WAAS device is not usually necessary because export-enabled WAAS devices are detected and
added automatically.
To manually add a WAAS device to the list of devices monitored by the NAM:
Step 1 Choose Configure > Network Analysis Module > Advanced > Data Sources.
Step 2 Click the Create button.
The NAM Data Source Configuration dialog box appears.
Step 3 Choose WAAS from the list of Types.
Step 4 In the IP field, enter the device IP address.
Step 5 Check the check boxes for the appropriate WAAS segments.
You can configure the WAAS data sources to monitor the following WAAS segments:
• Client—Configures the WAE device to export the original (LAN side) TCP flows that originated
from its clients to the NAM for monitoring.
• Client WAN—Configures the WAE device to export the optimized (WAN side) TCP flows
originated from its clients to the NAM for monitoring.
