Chapter 1 Configuring AppNav
Configuring an AppNav Cluster
– Configure the other network and basic settings (default gateway, DNS, NTP server, and so
forth).
– Register the device with the Central Manager by entering the Central Manager IP address.
WAAS Node
Step 1 Connect a built-in Ethernet port to the switch/router port for the management interface.
Step 2 Use the device setup command to configure the following settings:
– Configure the device mode as Application Accelerator.
– Configure the IP address and netmask of the built-in management port.
– Configure the built-in management port as the primary interface.
– Configure the other network and basic settings (default gateway, DNS, NTP server, and so
forth).
– Register the device with the Central Manager by entering the Central Manager IP address.
Interface Configuration Considerations
The following guidelines concern WAAS device interface configuration:
• On an ANC, the intercepted traffic must go through an interface on the AppNav Controller Interface
Module.
• On an ANC that also serves as a WN, the cluster interface is the same as the interception interface.
• On a WN, cluster traffic can be handled on any interface, either built-in or on an interface module.
• To simplify AppNav deployment, the AppNav Cluster Wizard uses the following conventions for
configuring the AppNav Controller Interface Module ports on an ANC:
– The default port for cluster traffic is the last port on the module (for example, GigabitEthernet
1/11 on a 12-port module or TenGigabitEthernet 1/3 on a 4-port module).
– For an in-path (inline) deployment, the default interception bridge is the first pair of ports on
the module (for example, GigabitEthernet 1/0 [LAN] and GigabitEthernet 1/1 [WAN] for
bridge 1). If the ANC is connected to a second router for a dual inline deployment, the default
second interception bridge is the second pair of ports on the module (for example,
GigabitEthernet 1/2 [LAN] and GigabitEthernet 1/3 [WAN] for bridge 2).
The AppNav Cluster Wizard uses four predefined deployment models to help simplify configuration.
Each deployment model expects interfaces to be connected and configured in a particular way, except
for the Custom option, which allows you to configure interfaces in any way. Before you run the wizard
with one of the four predefined models, the needed interfaces must be in either of these states:
• Not configured with an IP address and netmask and not used as part of another logical interface.
(However, the last port on the AppNav Controller Interface Module can be configured with an IP
address because it is the default port for cluster traffic.)
The wizard configures all needed traffic interface settings.
• Configured as expected by the wizard according to the following deployment model expectations.
