Chapter 1 Configuring Application Acceleration

Creating a New Traffic Optimization Policy

Creating an Optimization Policy

After you create an application definition, you need to create an optimization policy that determines the

action a WAAS device takes on the specified traffic. For example, you can create an optimization policy

that makes a WAAS device apply TCP optimization and compression to all application traffic that travels

over a specific port or to a specific IP address. You can create up to 512 optimization policies on your

WAAS system.

The traffic matching rules are contained in the application class map. These rules, known as match

conditions, use Layer 2 and Layer 4 information in the TCP header to identify traffic.

To create an optimization policy, follow these steps:

Step 1 From the WAAS Central Manager menu, choose Devices > device-name (or Device Groups >

device-group-name).

Step 2 Choose Configure > Acceleration > Optimization Policies.

The Optimization Policies window appears. (See Figure 1-31.)

Note For a WAAS Express device, the Optimization Policies window shows a subset of the fields in

the standard Optimization Policies window.

Enable Service Policy option, DSCP option, and the Protocol column in the list of policy rules

are not applicable to WAAS Express.

Figure 1-31 Optimization Policies Window

This window displays information about all optimization policies that reside on the selected device or

device group and the position of each policy. The position determines the order in which WAAS refers

to that policy when determining how to handle application traffic. To change the position of a policy, see

the “Modifying the Position of an Optimization Policy” section on page 1-59. This window also displays

the class map, source and destination IP addresses, source and destination ports, protocol, application,

action, and accelerate assigned to each policy.
