Cisco WAAS Express

Introducing WAAS Express – A small-footprint, cost-effective IOS-based WAN optimization solution

-Key component of Cisco WAAS product portfolio

-Extend WAN Optimization solution across the entire ISR G2 family

-Increase the amount of available bandwidth for small to medium branch offices and remote locations, while accelerating TCP-based application operating in a WAN environment

-Natively use the capabilities of IOS software

-Fully interoperable with WAAS on SM-SRE modules, WAAS appliances, and are managed by a common WAAS Central Manager

WAAS Express – Packaging & Licensing

WAAS Express is a standard feature license

License enabled on IP Base Image

Enforced using a license key

License key enforcement done in IOS on the router using Cisco Software Licensing Infrastructure

60 day trial license available

WAAS Central Manager will not participate in license management

WAAS Express will not register with WAAS Central Manager unless valid and active license is present

WAAS Central Manager will periodically ensure (trial and extension) license is active to allow customer configuration

Enabling WAAS Express

Router(config)#interface <interface-name>

Router(config-if)#waas enable

Simple one command configuration using default policy

EULA is displayed for Trial licenses the first time WAAS Express is enabled

Default built-in policy is auto-generated and applied to running-config

WAAS Express default policy is equivalent to Cisco WAAS (version 4.2.1) default policy but without AO support

Integrated in IOS, eliminates the need for WCCP configurations


WAAS Express Feature Interoperation

Natively interoperates with following Cisco IOS® features:

Standard IP Routing

IP ACL
