Chapter 1 Planning Your WAAS Network
Identifying and Resolving Interoperability Issues
If you do not have a DHCP server configured, or you have a DCHP server but do not want to use the
autoregistration feature, then manually configure the following network settings with the interactive
setup utility or CLI, then register the WAEs with the WAAS Central Manager device. Configure these
settings:
• Ethernet interface
• IP domain name
• Hostname
• IP name server
• Default gateway
• Primary interface
When a WAAS device boots, you are prompted to run the first-time setup utility (enter basic
configuration), which you use to set up the basic device network settings for the WAE.
Identifying and Resolving Interoperability Issues
This section describes how to identify and resolve interoperability issues. It contains the following
topics:
• Interoperability and Support, page 1-10
• WAAS and Cisco IOS Interoperability, page 1-11
• WAAS Compatibility with other Cisco Appliances and Software, page 1-15
Interoperability and Support
This section contains the following topics:
• Unicode Support for the WAAS GUI Interfaces, page 1-10
• Unicode Support Limitations, page 1-11
For a list of the hardware, CIFS clients, and web browsers supported by the WAAS software, see the
Release Note for Cisco Wide Area Application Services.
Unicode Support for the WAAS GUI Interfaces
The WAAS software supports Unicode in the WAAS Central Manager and the WAE Device Manager
GUI interfaces.
In the WAAS Central Manager, you can create preposition policies that include Unicode characters. For
example, you can define a preposition policy for a directory that contains Unicode characters in its name.
Specifically, the following fields in the WAAS Central Manager GUI support Unicode:
• The root directory and file pattern fields in the preposition policies
In the WAE Device Manager GUI, you can include Unicode characters in the name of the backup
configuration file. In addition, the logs included in the WAE Device Manager GUI can display Unicode
characters.
