Chapter 1 Configuring Other System Settings

Modifying Device Properties

• Deactivate or activate the device

You can also use the WAAS Central Manager GUI to check the status of a device to determine if it is

online, pending, or inactive.

You can only rename a WAAS Central Manager device from the GUI.

To modify a device’s properties, follow these steps:

Step 1 From the WAAS Central Manager menu, choose Devices > device-name.

Step 2 Choose device-name > Activation.

The Device Activation window appears with fields for editing the properties of the selected device.

For a WAAS Central Manager device, the only fields that you can change in this window are the name

and NetBIOS name of the device. In addition, the device IP address and role are displayed.

Step 3 Under the General Configuration heading, set or modify the following device properties:

• To change the hostname of the device, enter a new name in the Name field. This name must conform

to the following rules:

–

The name must use only alphanumeric characters and hyphens (-).

–

The first and last character must be a letter or a digit.

–

Maximum length is 30 characters.

–

Names are case insensitive.

–

The following characters are considered illegal and cannot be used when naming a device:

@, #, $,%, ^, &, *, (), |, \””/, <>.

• To activate or deactivate the device, check or uncheck the Activate check box.When this box is

checked, the device is activated for centralized management through the WAAS Central Manager

GUI.

You can also click the Deactivate icon in the task bar to deactivate the device. Deactivating a device

allows you to replace the device in the event of a hardware failure without losing all of its

configuration settings.

• To change the NetBIOS name of the device, enter the new NetBIOS name for the device in the

provided field. The NetBIOS name must not consist of only numbers; it must include some letters.

This field is not displayed for WAAS Express devices.

Step 4 Under the Locality heading, set or change the location by choosing a new location from the Location

drop-down list. To create a location for this device, see the “Creating Locations” section on page 1-10.

Step 5 Under the Management Interface Configuration with NAT heading, configure the NAT settings using the

following fields:

• Check the Use WAE’s primary IP Address check box to enable the WAAS Central Manager to use

the IP address configured on the primary interface of the device to communicate with devices in the

WAAS network that are behind a NAT firewall. This check box is not displayed for WAAS Express

devices.

• Allow the WAAS Central Manager to communicate with devices in the WAAS network that are

behind the NAT firewall using an explicitly configured IP address, by entering the IP address of the

device in the Management IP field. You also need to enter this address in scenarios where the

primary interface for a WAE is set to an inline group interface and management traffic is configured

on a separate IP address (either on a secondary IP address on the same inline group interface or on

a built-in interface).
