WAAS 4.1 - NME + VB

I think an NME + 1 Windows 2008 Core Server VB is a good idea. Does anybody else think so?
Would it be reasonable to expect Cisco to release such a product in not-too-distant-future?

As of right now, the virtual blade will not be supported on the NMEs. There just isn't enough memory and disk available. It would be nice for in the future.

    I send a topology, for your opinio and  best practice the how configurate the WAAS in WCCP.
    I hope your help for this issue,
    It posible to configure this command in the router WAN (ip wccp 62 redirect in) and the router WAAS ((ip wccp 62 redirect out , (ip wccp 61 redirect in)?.
    Or I need more commands for this configuration.
    Yesterday I sent the configuration the R1, today I send you agein.

  • WAAS-CIFS setup for NME-WAE-522-K9

    Hi,
    We are developing a media solution in our lab. In that process, I was about to use a CIFS Sharing/Mouting for a DMM-DMP(Digtal media manager-digital media player). I have a cisco 3800 series router with NME-WAE-522-K9 Module , and an AXP module. I have configured the WAE with WCCP v2. It is in accelerator mode.
    I want to know if i can use the same WAE device as a "CIFS share"  or should i have to use a seperate Windows/Unix machine to be acting as a server. If at all i can use the WAE module itself as Share,  Can i know any link from where i can get to know how to configure WAE device to work as share.
    I came across WASF in many places of documents and wanted to check if this is what the WAE module is called when used as a Share?.
    When i opened my webpage of WAE, i can see the CifsAO componenet as not licensed . So where should i download the license file from?. Does this CifsAO will be acting as a network Share.?
    Sorry if it is too basic question. Am new to this WAAS setup.and moreover i am not able to find proper documentation.
    Please advice.
    Thanks,
    JK

    Hi JK,
    What you are proposing is completely feasible with WAAS via the CIFS Accelerator (CIFS AO) and the prepositioning feature.  The first thing you would need to make sure is all of your WAAS devices have the Enterprise license (specifically this WAE at the branch where your clients sit and the DC WAE where the CIFS file servers sit) .  If you have not purchased this license/ it is not active on your WAAS devices please contact your Cisco SE and they can work with you on getting this feature licensed and activated.  To verify your license status on the CLI of each WAE execute the command "show license"
    Once you have verified the Enterprise license is enabled, you can then enable the CIFS AO on all of your accelerators either via the CM or the CLI with the command "accelerator cifs enable"  Then you can verify it is running with the show accelerator command.
    Next verify that a branch user connecting to the CIFS file server in the DC is accelerated via the CIFS AO.  From a test PC connect to the share, then on the  CLI of the branch WAE use the command "show stat con | in " and find the port 445 connection to your DC file server IP.  This should be listed a T,C,D,L (meaning full optimization with CIFS AO acceleration).
    Once this is verified setup a preposition job as per the configuration guide here:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/waas/waas/v421/configuration/guide/filesvr.html#wp1043490
    You can then have this job run nightly/ weekly/ or whatever frequency is conducive to your environment.
    Once the job has been completed your CIFS cache on the branch WAE will be populated with the data from the directory/ directories you specified in the preposition job.  So when users or devices connect to the DC file share to pull these videos/ files they will be pulling them from the local WAE cache instead of over the WAN (note, some communication still goes over the WAN to maintain proper consistency).
    Note, your WAE-522 has approximately 40GB of storage allocated for CIFS cache. 
    Hope this helps answer your questions.
    Cheers,

  • Change ACNS to WAAS in NME-WAE-502-k9

    Hi,
    Is it possible to migrate ACNS to WAAS in NME-WAE-502-K9? I only find this document http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/waas/waas/v413/aow/guide/acnsvbguide.html and it is said, the image only supports WAE. If this possible, could you provide the guidance to migrate it? Thanks

    Hi,
    The procedure is the same ones as to reinstall the software. It's described in the "Maintaining your WAAS system" section of the documentation.
    To make it easier, here are the steps:
    To reinstall the system software on an NME-WAE network module installed in a Cisco access router, follow these steps:
    Step 1 Log in to the Cisco router in which the NME-WAE module is installed, and reload the NME-WAE module:
    router-2851> enable
    router-2851# service-module integrated-Service-Engine 1/0 reload
    Step 2 Immediately open a session on the module:
    router-2851# service-module integrated-Service-Engine 1/0 session
    Step 3 While the module is reloading, you will see the following option during boot phase 3. Enter *** as instructed:
    [BOOT-PHASE3]: enter `***' for rescue image: ***
    Step 4 The  rescue image dialog appears. The following example demonstrates how to  interact with the rescue dialog (user input is denoted by entries in  bold typeface):
    This is the rescue image.  The purpose of this software is to let
    you install a new system image onto your system's boot flash
    device.  This software has been invoked either manually
    (if you entered `***' to the bootloader prompt) or has been
    invoked by the bootloader if it discovered that your system image
    in flash had been corrupted.
    To download an image from network, this software will request
    the following information from you:
        - which network interface to use
        - IP address and netmask for the selected interface
        - default gateway IP address
        - FTP server IP address
        - username and password on FTP server
        - path to system image on server
    Please enter an interface from the following list:
       0: GigabitEthernet 1/0
       1: GigabitEthernet 2/0
    enter choice: 0
    Using interface GigabitEthernet 1/0
    Please enter the local IP address to use for this interface:
    [Enter IP Address]: 10.1.13.2
    Please enter the netmask for this interface:
    [Enter Netmask]: 255.255.255.240
    Please enter the IP address for the default gateway:
    [Enter Gateway IP Address]: 10.1.13.1
    Please enter the IP address for the FTP server where you wish
    to obtain the new system image:
    [Enter Server IP Address]: 10.107.193.240
    Please enter your username on the FTP server (or 'anonymous'):
    [Enter Username on server (e.g. anonymous)]: username
    Please enter the password for username 'username' on FTP server:
    Please enter the directory containing the image file on the FTP server:
    [Enter Directory on server (e.g. /)]: /
    Please enter the file name of the system image file on the FTP server:
    [Enter Filename on server]: WAAS-4.4.1.10-K9.sysimg
    Here is the configuration you have entered:
    Current config:
              IP Address: 10.1.13.2
                 Netmask: 255.255.255.240
         Gateway Address: 10.1.13.1
          Server Address: 10.107.193.240
                Username: username
                Password: *********
         Image directory: /
          Image filename: WAAS-4.4.1.10-K9.sysimg
    Attempting download...
    Downloaded 15821824 byte image file
    A new system image has been downloaded.
    You should write it to flash at this time.
    Please enter 'yes' below to indicate that this is what you want to do:
    [Enter confirmation ('yes' or 'no')]: yes
    Ok, writing new image to flash
    .................................................................................. done.
    Finished writing image to flash.
    Enter 'reboot' to reboot, or 'again' to download and install a new image:
    [Enter reboot confirmation ('reboot' or 'again')]: reboot
    Restarting system.
    Step 5 After the module reboots, install the .bin image from an HTTP server:
    NM-WAE-1# copy http install 10.77.156.3 /waas WAAS-4.4.1.10-k9.bin
    Step 6 Reload the module:
    NM-WAE-1# reload
    After the module reboots, it is running the newly installed WAAS software.
    I hope this helps
    Daniel

  • WAAS - NME Implementaion confirmation question

    Hi,
    I would just like to confirm if there is any reason why using a /31 mask would not work with an NME using WCCP? If not, what the reason would be.
    I don't believe this would work with the Appliance on it's own VLAN, probably at least a /29??
    Thanks in advance.

    You will need a least a /30
    With a /30 you get 2 host addresses.
    So lets say network 0, host 1 and 2. x.x.x.1 for
    the gateway, 2 for the NME, WCCP router list x.x.x.1,
    Here is a sample config
    R2821-edge#configure terminal
    Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
    R2821-edge(config)#int integrated-Service-Engine 1/0
    R2821-edge(config-if)#ip address 10.10.100.1 255.255.255.252
    R2821-edge(config-if)#service-module ip address 10.10.100.2 255.255.255.252
    R2821-edge(config-if)#service-module ip default-gateway 10.10.100.1
    R2821-edge(config-if)#ip wccp redirect exclude in
    R2821-edge(config-if)#exit
    R2821-edge(config)#end
    R2821-edge#copy running-config startup-config

  • WAAS- WCCP config on ISR with NME

    Is the "ip wccp redirect exclude in" command needed under the "interface Integrated-Service-Engine for the NME"? I am not running inline.

    Jeff,
    The 502 and the 512 are definitely different size boxes.
    NME-502 can handle up to 500 Optimized TCP connections and has a 120 GB hard drive with 1 GB of RAM.
    WAE-512-1GB can handle up to 750 Optimized TCP connections and has a 250 GB hard drive (optional RAID 1) with 1 GB of RAM.
    WAE-512-2GB can handle up to 1500 Optimized TCP connections and has a 250 GB hard drive (optional RAID 1) with 2 GB of RAM.
    So they should be directed at different size of sites as there is more processing power as well as disk cache space on the WAE-512. The NME-522 can handle roughly the same number of connections as the WAE-512, however it still doesn't have as much disk space for cache.
    Hope that helps,
    Dan

  • Waas: problems with peers identification

    good days all.
    we have got a problems with peers' identification in waas solution.
    topology: 1 central-manager and 2 nme-502, both nme located in different location and subnets, and both see each other (pings are available from nme to nme). Version of solution 4.1.3b
    But one device on the central-manager page in point "TFO Peer List Reported ByDevice" show ip for distant device, but distant device in the same point shows "There are currently no Peers to display".
    And no any optimization actions
    All troubleshooting methodology and guidances are useless....
    with hope to help, thanks

    Let's start by making sure that interception and redirection are working properly.  You can start with the troubleshooting guide here:

  • WAAS Prepositioning and File Share Access

    We have WAAS solution in place with HQ based in UK and remote offices globally. One of our sites in Singapore is experiencing slow performance when opening files. From the WCM I can the cache was set to just 5% and I have increased that now to 25% based on some other threads.
    How can one verify which files are being cached locally on the WAE, this is my qtn?
    any other fine tuning advice would be appreciated. I accept our WAE's could do with a code upgrade.

  • Cisco WAAS

    Hi friends,
    Having couple of doubts with respect to Cisco WAVE technology,
    1. What are the differenences between WAAS and WAVE, apart from Virtualization?
    2. What are the key functions of Cisco WAVE?
    3. Planning to deploy WAVE 274 or 474 for my branch offices and WAE 674 at HO, the services that this must support are AD, File & Print servers. Will these support with WAVE ?
    4. Do the WAAS virtual blade support the services like Active Directory, Print Services, DHCP, and DNS services?
    5. Is there any prerequistes for Windows server for having the services like Active Directory, Print Services, DHCP, and DNS services?
    6. It would be great if you could guide me with some design documents for the above scenario?
    Regards,

    MOB:- +91-9789088080

    Karthik,
    1. What are the differenences between WAAS and WAVE, apart from  Virtualization?
    WAAS is the software that runs on several different types of hardware:
    WAE - Appliance-based form factor that supports WAN optimization and application acceleration features.
    WAVE - Appliance-based form factor that supports WAN optimization, application acceleration, and virtual blades features.
    NME-WAE - Router-integrated network module that supports WAN optimiation and application acceleration features.
    2. What are the key functions of Cisco WAVE?
    See above.
    3. Planning  to deploy WAVE 274 or 474 for my branch offices and WAE 674 at HO, the  services that this must support are AD, File & Print servers. Will  these support with WAVE ?
    Yes.
    4. Do the WAAS virtual blade support the services  like Active Directory, Print Services, DHCP, and DNS services?
    If you run Microsoft Windows Server as the virtual blade, then yes.
    5. Is there  any prerequistes for Windows server for having the services like Active  Directory, Print Services, DHCP, and DNS services?
    6. It would  be great if you could guide me with some design documents for the above  scenario?
    See the following for additional information:

  • WAAS 4.2.3 Cert near expiration warning.

    I have 6 WAAS NME modules, all running 4.2.3, and all giving this Major warning:
    "Certificate waas-self .p12 is near expiration. It is configured as a machine cert in global settings."
    How does one go about fixing this warning and getting a new cert?

    Deleting the cert doesn't work:
    BEL-NME-WAE-Edge#crypto delete pkcs12 _waas-self_.p12
    Error: File does not exist
    BEL-NME-WAE-Edge#
    There doesn't seem to be a cert with that name. The only cert that shows up is the new one I just created called BEL.p12. I looked at the 'alerts' area on the WAAS manager GUI and there is a little more to the error alert:
    Certigficate _waas-self_.-12 is near expiration. It is configured as a machine cert in global settings.
    I don't know what global settings this is talking about, but here is the output of 'sh crypto certificates':

  • WAAS Network Module IP address question

    I've read the instructions for configuring a WAAS Network Module but I don't understand what IP space I'm suppose to use.
    https://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/waas/waas/v403/module/configuration/guide/wsnmecfg.html
    My 2821 has g0/1 as the LAN connection and s0/1 as the WAN link
    g0/1.1 - 10.1.1.1 /24
    g0/1.4 - 10.1.1.4 /24
    s0/1 - 192.168.1.1 /30
    Do I need to allocate a new subnet for interface service-engine1/0?  Or can is be an IP address in my 10.1.1.1/24 subnet?  What's the best practice? 
    If it's a new subnet then I assume I need to add it to eigrp, right?
    Here is the sample from the Configuration Guide...
    interface service-engine1/0
    ip address 10.0.0.20 255.255.255.0  <--- does this have to be it's own subnet, what's best practice?
    service-module integrated-service-engine ip address 10.0.0.30 255.255.255.0 <-- this has to be in the same subnet as above, right?
    service-module integrated-service-engine ip default-gateway 10.0.0.20 <-- is this always the "int service-engine1/0" IP?
    Sorry for the shotgun question approach.  Thank you in advance.

    Hi Tod,
    The most common scenario is to allocate a new subnet for the module.  Since the module will need IP connectivity to the Central Manager, you should advertise it via EIGRP (or whatever routing protocol you are using).
    Here are the answers to your command specific questions:

  • NME-WAE-502 for point to point ?

    Can I use two NME-WAE-502 for a point-to-point WAN, one as edge and one as core ?
    Is it also possible to use them without the Central-Manager ?
    Thanks !

    Hello Daniele,
    here are my comments:
    Can I use two NME-WAE-502 for a point-to-point WAN, one as edge and one as core ?
    There is no restriction where to install them but these are design mainly for branch offices, my suggestion is to give your best guess and estimate number of users, applications, bandwidth and take the time to check the design guides as well. Request assistance to your Cisco Partner too.
    some details about the module:
    NME-WAE-502
    Max Optimized TCP Connections: 500  
    Max CIFS Sessions: 120
    Max Recommended WAN Link [Mbps]:4
    further details can be found on the design guide
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Data_Center/WAASDC11.html
    Is it also possible to use them without the Central-Manager ?
    WAAS continues to function in the event  of CM failure, but you  need it for configuration changes, monitoring, statistics, software updates...etc.
    hope that helps,
    Felix

  • WAAS not running preposition jobs

    I have a NME-WAE-502-K9 in a 2821 router and have it connected via a ipsec VPN tunnel through a ASA5510
    Path to client
    CM - router(3925) - switch (4501 with VLAN) - ASA - router 2821 - wae mondule - user
    I can ping from the central manager to the WAE unit
    I am getting TFO and DR compression but can not get the unit to complete any preposition jobs.
    The will show "in progress 0 bytes" after even 24 hours.
    IP insepect WAAS enabled is on the router and the ASA 5510
    MTU is set to 1500
    Totaly at a loss as to were to start looking.
    Thanks

    When you do prepositioning the Branch WAE acts as the client and goes direct to the server.   As such the Branch WAE IP must be allowed through your Firewall, AND it must get redirected to the Core WAAS accelerator.   Thus, if you are using WCCP to redirect to the Core WAAS device and if you're using a redirect list, make sure to permit the IP of the WAE.
    Also you'll want to make sure the server you are trying to preposition from does not have any security restrictions that would prevent the WAE from browsing the directories / copying the files.
    Hints to the problem could be found in the errorlog/cifsao-errorlog.current file.
    I'd suggest opening a TAC case if the above does not help.

  • NME-WAE-502-K9 configuration question

    Hi,
    It is not clear to me from the configuration guide how we configure WCCP using WAE-502 module which is embedded on the 2811 router, and especially the concept of subinterfaces. I understand when the WAAS is an external appliance connected to the router, but what happens when the card is embedded?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You configure the interface for the integrated service module as a normal interface on the router (Ip addresses, etc.). Then you configure the NME's IP address and the default gateway from the router. Then you should be able to ping the device, and you can either session into the module from the router or telnet directly to the device like an appliance.
    A very helpful guide is posted here...

  • WAAS Deployement : Inline Vs Off-path

    Hi All,
    I would like to get your expertise on deciding  suitable deployement method.
    We have to deploy the WAAS solution between a DC and 70+ branch locations ( expected TCP connections in each <= 200) which are connected through provider managed MPLS cloud . Decided to use WAE 7341 (with WCCP redirection method)as the WAE in DC side but when it comes to branch side still thinking between INLINE ( WAVE 274) vs WCCP (ISR router with NME) . Basically , would like to understand more about ..
    a) Difference between Inline and Off-path deployement in all aspects.
    b) Does inline deployement with WAVE 274 ( has 2 NIC ) passes through the traffic in case of Power / device failure
    We have been did PoC with WCCP method , it was very stable and got good respone. We would like to use inline method as it is the  low cost solution, if it can provide same level STABLITIY + RESPONSE.
    Regards,
    Maria

    Hi Maria,
    I don't know exactly which aspects you are interested in but usually, WCCP is used when we want to spread the load over multiple WAE as it is easier to achieve then with Inline interfaces.
    Now, as in your case, you'll be only using one NME, so it doesn't apply.
    Another difference is that the module is integrated inside your router while the WAVE obviously isn't so it will require additional cabling in your network.
    Inline acceleration will not add any processing load to your router while WCCP will. Even if this load increase might not be that high, you might want to think about it if your routers are already heavily used.
    If you have any other aread you would like to get more info on, let me know and I'll see what I can do for you.
    Regarding your question on what would happen if the WAVE gets powered off or fails completely, the inline interface has an hardware bypass mechanism that will kick off if this occurs and the device will simply start bridging the traffic between the two sides of the interface, preventing a network outage.
    Regards,
    Nicolas
