Waas express

Hi,
Will the waas express running IOS c2900-universalk9-mz.SPA.152-3.T1.bin in edge sites will work without issues if the core WAE in the data center is upgraded to 5.3.3?
Currently our core WAE is running 4.4.5c!
please advise.
regards

Hi Srini,
As per release notes it should.
Cisco WAAS Express Interoperability
Consider the following guideline when using Cisco WAAS Express devices in your Cisco WAAS network:
•When using a Cisco WAAS device running version 5.x and a Cisco WAAS Express peer device running Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)T or earlier, connections originating from the Cisco WAAS device and sent to the Cisco WAAS Express peer are passed through instead of being optimized. We recommend upgrading to Cisco WAAS Express in Cisco IOS Release 15.2(3)T or later to take advantage of the latest enhancements

WAAS Express devices went offline in Central manager

Hi all,
after a long time i have a new issue in our WAAS environment.
We're running several WAAS Express devices.
And a few weeks ago i integrated them into our WAAS Central Manager.
The registration of WAAS Express device was done on basis of "waasx_deployment_guide_120910.pdf"
Now when i came back from christmas holiday i detected that all of them became offline again in CM.
Activating as well as replacing did not work, cause the router detected that the device is still registered.
i got the following output after this:
Jan 10 15:30:37: %WAAS-3-WAAS_CM_REGISTER_FAILED: IOS-WAAS registration with Central Manager failed for the following reason: Registration r
ecord for this device already exists or other devices share certificate or mac address or ip address with this device. Failed to process reg
istration request initiated from 10.11.176.1
Jan 10 15:30:37: %WAAS-3-WAAS_CM_REGISTER_FAILED: IOS-WAAS registration with Central Manager failed for the following reason: Registration r
ecord for this device already exists or other devices share certificate or mac address or ip address with this device. Failed to process reg
istration request initiated from 10.11.176.1
Now to my questions:
How can i set the WAASxpress router to Status active again on CM?
What could be the reason why the WAAS express device became offline?
thanks for your feedback in advance
Dieter

Hi Dieter,
i am just curious to know what made the WAAS express go offline. Even if you open a TAC case, TAC is going to ask this question.
1. Was there any IOS upgrade performed on routers?
2. Was the routers reloaded for any reason?
3. If you are using AAA / TACACS, any changes like upgrade / renewal of certificates on them?
This information will help you narrow down the problem quickly. If you can share above information, we might be able to move something for you.
Regards.

WAAS Express & CoS on same router

I have a location that has been running WAAS Express for a while. I have also implemented CoS for a pending VoIP deployment. Is there anything I need to do in the Manager to make these two work together? I have the Policy Manager and other items needed for the CoS to operate and I am seeing hits on my ACLs for remaring the traffic but my Solarwinds monitoring system is not picking up any differences from a Class of Service standpoint. Any ideas where I should start to troubleshoot this issue? How can I verify the re-classifications on the router / netflow side? I am not really sure where to start.

That explains your problem.
Your AirPort Express (AX) can't support both Ethernet and wireless clients because it only has a single Ethernet port. Possible solutions:
Get an inexpensive wired router. Connect your cable modem to the WAN/Internet side of the router. Connect your PC and AX to the LAN side of the router. Configure the AX so that the option to distribute IP addresses is DISABLED.
OR...
Replace the AX with an inexpensive wireless router or even the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS). These will support both Ethernet and wireless clients.

Error message trying to enable WAAS Express

I have one location that is giving me fits trying to enable WAAS express. The three before it went fine but I think this may be related to the fact that this one location is currently configured to support COS. The message I receive when issueing the waas enable command is
% waas enable failed: Unable to create WAAS class-map as class-map BGP already exists in another type.
This are their current definitions ...

Hi,
When you first enable WAAS express on a device, it will define a set of policies for traffic optimization. Among those, there is one called BGP, which is conflicting with the current one and as a result, enabling WAAS fails and the error you saw is displayed
To solve this issue, you will have to change the configuration of your device to ensure that there are no classes or policies with the same names as the ones that WAAS will configure.
For your reference, below you can see a list of the configuration that will be added by WAAS Express by default:

Cisco WAE 4.2 with WAAS Express Router

Hello All,
I have Cisco WAAS Express 2900 (WAAS Base IOS) at Branch & 2x512-K9 Appliances (1 CM & 1 Application Accelerator) at HO.
Can we setup compression between Cisco WAAS Express Router 2900 with Cisco WAE Appliance 512-K9 ver 4.2.3c without Central Manager ?
The problem is my central manager supports 4.x only & WAAS Express Router requires CM ver 5.0 or later. Since my CM 512-K9 does not support ver 5.x (due to hardware compatibility issue) i cant manage WAAS Express Router through CM.
So the alternative is we deploy WAAS between WAAS Express Router 2900 (WAAS Base IOS) & Application Accelerator 512-K9 version 4.2.3c WITHOUT Central Manager. is it possible ?
If YES can some body share the guide please.
Regards,
Anis

You can upgrade the CM and core to 4.4.5c, the waas express router will work!
we are using 15 x 2911 series waas express routers with this setup.
good luck!

ACS issues in large scale network with Prime Infra and WAAS express

Hi,
I wonder if there is a common practice or a recommended way for deploying large scale network where there are Prime Infrastructure (PI) and WAAS Central manager keep logging into routers (scale of 1000 or more) to collect statistics. The way PI and WAAS CM collect stats from the routers (besides using SNMP) is that they log in (authenticate) themselves with there usernames and password and issue multiple show and config commands on the routers. Imagin this routine happens every 5 - 10 minutes with all 1000+ routers at the same time and the impact to the ACS server in terms of authentication requests and AAA logs. Appreciate if somebody could recommend a solution where these elements can work together in a large scale network.
Thanks,
Tos

The AEBS is connected to the TC via an ethernet run from the basement to the main floor... its not connected wirelessly.
The "extend" feature is intended for wireless, not wired connections. Since you have the base stations connected by Ethernet, the downstream router just need to be reconfigured as a bridge. The bridged router would then perform as a combination Wireless Access Point and Ethernet switch. Neither base station should be configured for "extending."
Basically, you will want both to be configured for a "roaming" network.
o Setup the base station connected to the Internet to "Share a public IP address."
Internet > Internet Connection > Connection Sharing: Share a public IP address
o Setup the remaining base station(s), as a bridge.
Internet > Internet Connection > Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge Mode)
For each base station in the roaming network:
o Connect to the same subnet of the Ethernet network
o Provide a unique Base Station Name
o The Network Name should be identical
o If using security, use the same encryption type (WEP, WPA, etc.) and password.
o Make sure that the channel is set at least three channels apart from the next base station.
while the TC is running at 2.4ghz since my MBP is connected at speeds around 240 to the AEBS at the same time that my ipod is connected to the TC at speeds of only 54 max.
The iPod is a 802.11b/g wireless device. It cannot connect at greater than the maximum bandwidth for that mode ... which is 54 Mbps, regardless of the bandwidth available.

Is WAAS 5 that much better than previous versions?

I have never used Cisco WAAS for wan op (I've used BlueCoat and Silverpeak) and have heard less than complimentary comments on its ease of deployment and overall functionality. I am currently looking to replace my aging Bluecoat environment and am curious about people's opinion of 5.X.
From what I have heard it is night and day different and an overall much better better product.
What are the communities opinions? How does it stack up agianst Riverbed and the other players?

Hi Kenny,
you are asking for community opinion. Working for Cisco I can give you my perspective, I hope that counts as well ;-)
You are right about the day and night difference.
One of the reasons is the completely reworked Central Manager GUI, which is using HTML 5 now. So it can be used on iPads or similar as well. But more important is the Look and Feel and usability of version 5, which is perceived very positive from what I take away in my conversations with customers.
Perhaps the biggest addition to the portfolio is a new redirection technology, AppNav (Application Navigation).
With AppNav you can now do loadbalancing and traffic distribution to a WAAS (WAE/WAVE) cluster more easily and in fine granularity. This means, you can distribute certain networks (Branches) or applications to a certain set of WAAS appliances at ease.
What think needs to be mentioned are Cisco's partnerships with leading IT companies in order to jointly work on Application Optimizers and haveing them certified. Best example, if we are talking about the new version (so true for 4.5 as well) is The Citrix ready certification for ICA optimization.
Others inlcude e.g SAP NetWaver, and Microsoft Protocols ( CIFS/SMB /native v2, (e)MAPI, Video Streaming Server, virtual Windows Appliance on WAAS), ...
Other Highlights:
WAAS Express Version 2. You can run WAAS on your Router as an IOS Feature.
SSL scalabilty at 75.000 concurrent sessions on WAVE 8541.
Cloud solution with vWAAS (virtual WAAS).
Hope that give a first impression,
chris

Older WAAS hardware mixed with newer WAAS hardware

We are looking into possibly expanding our WAAS implementation to add a couple more nodes. My environmnet currently comprises a 274 as my manager, a couple 574s connecting our data centers and a handfull of WAAS express on routers. My current appliances are running 4.4.1 software and the WAAS Express is under 15.1(4) IOS. I noticed that the new 5.0 software does not support any of my cuurrent hardware so figure they are pretty much stuck where they are software wise. My question is if I purchase a couple new 594s for new locations will everything continure to play nice until I can get the CM and 574s replaced? My other thought is a technology upgrade on existing infrastructure and push out this stuff to the two new locations.
Brent

Both,
WAAS 5.0, 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3.x will support WAVE 274 and 574 as per the release notes.
Support for these "old" appliances will cease with 5.4.x.
For the WAAS Express see here (will probably require an IOS upgrade) :

Hi Ranjith,
Can you try the following commands on your router and see if it helps:
configmemory-size iomem 5
If it doesn't and that you are sure you have enough memory on your router to support WAAS Express, I would advise you to open a TAC case to have this investigated in depth.

Nicolas

Question about SRE WAAS sizing on ISR G2

Good afternoon!
I've looked high and low, but can't make heads or tails of the WAAS (not WAAS Express) licensing on the SRE's.
What do Small, Medium, Large denote in regards to how many users, connections, etc can each type of license handle? I can find a lot on the dedicated appliances as well as the older NMEs, but nothing in regards to sizing WAAS on the SRE's.
Thanks!
Jarod

Renewing Self Signed Certificate for WAAS Central Manager

Hi,
We would like some help from you about the following: We have an WAAS Central Manager which its self-signed certificate validity has expired as showed below:
Validity
Not Before: Jul 7 00:47:06 2009 GMT
Not After : Jul 6 00:47:06 2014 GMT
We have used its certificate to install some other remote WAAS Express routers.
We would like to know the following:
1. is it possible to renew this certificate? or
2. do we need to reinstall another certificate on CM and replicate this new one on these waas express remote devices?
If affirmative for at least one of them, please, could you share any document that describe how to do it?
I have attached some output commands from our CM.
Thanks,
Marcelo

I think WAAS express is one of the technologies you will lose out on. Amongst other advanced features. See link below.

Call Manager EXPRESS + WAAS on Cisco 2851

Hello,
Someone can tell me if the solution with CCME + WAE can work together on Cisco2851?
When im using the Cisco Dynamic configuration tool, the tool says that IOS of CCME is incompatible with WAE.
I need to know if Cisco2851 can support both.

Hi,
The required IOS for WAE is IP BASE only.
But, when you are using some kind of (voice IOS) in other words (CCME), the tool says that IOS is incompatible with the WAE.
P.S - the same configuration works on Cisco3825 or Cisco3845

WAAS Mobile Server Time/Date incorrect

Hi,
I cannot seem to find where I configured the time/date settings for the WAAS mobile server.
The Win 2008 server that the Mobile server is installed on has the right time, but the WAAS mobile server itself does not.
At the moment it is using GMT.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Where do you see this GMT timestamp? It may be by design.

Will WAAS be worth it?

Hello,
We have our headquarters in New York and a remote office in Chennai India. The circuit between the offices is a 10mbps MPLS with a big provider.
The performance of web applications is fine. Users start to complain when it comes to Windows file transfers or admins trying to deploy software packages to PCs in Chennai. I used this math to figure out what the best throughput could be given the latency and the TCP Window size:
TCP-Window-Size-in-bits / Latency-in-seconds = Bits-per-second-throughput
And what I got was a little over 2.0 mbps of maximum throughput for a tcp session. Not surprising given the latency of 235ms. Window size was around 50,000 bits.
So my questions is could a WAAS device in each office make any difference at all for the apps that are transferring data? I mean you cant cheat the speed of light right?
I have tried to show MGMT the math and I get rolling eyes. They just want it to go faster, and the worst thing that could happen is we spend the money on WAAS and there is no noticeable improvement. Instead of rolling eyes, they'll be rolling me out the door.
Any advice is much appreciated.

Windows Server 2008 should already have CTCP enabled; but Windows 7 hosts might not.
Using a module has the all the normal pros and cons. So, cannot say a stand alone unit would be better, although the latter does provide you more selection options, including 3rd party.
Normally, yes, you need WAAS hardware at each site.
PS:
Just increasing a host's RWIN will often allow it to push a LFN to capacity. However, slow start really does become slow start when latency is high. This can also be a problem if sending lots of little files, i.e. each one starts slow. Small files might not even allow the transfer rate to reach full speed.
Also a problem is standard TCP's adaptive flow rate, which increases very slowly when latency is high after a packet is lost.
I believe there are file transfer utilities, that transfer a file using multiple TCP sessions. This can greatly increase the transfer rate on a LFN.
