WAAS device connection details
WAAS device connection statistics
WAAS overview
Cisco Systems developed WAAS to optimize the performance of TCP-based applications operating in a secure wide area network (WAN) environment. WAAS combines WAN optimization, acceleration of TCP-based applications, and Cisco's Wide Area File Services (WAFS) in a single appliance or blade.
WAAS technology usually involves a pair of devices that reside each end of a WAN link - one configured as the Core Server, the second as the Edge Client.
Entuity WAAS module
The Entuity Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) module manages Cisco WAAS devices. By default, this module is not enabled and is hidden from the configuration process. If you want to enable this module, please contact Entuity Support.
To run the full Entuity WAAS module, your license must include the WAAS device type. Entuity installations that do not include the appropriate license display only the most high-level details of the discovered WAAS.
Permissions for WAAS devices are granted through the View membership.
Managing WAAS devices
Entuity manages WAAS devices as a separate device type. It discovers general device details (e.g. name, description, polled IP address) and also Central Server Host attributes, WAAS Device Type (Core Server or Edge):
