Windows Network Integration

To successfully integrate WAAS devices into the Windows environment, you might need to make certain

preparations on both the data center WAE and branch WAE sides of the network. This section contains

the following topics:

• Data Center WAE Integration, page 1-5

• Branch WAE Integration, page 1-5

Data Center WAE Integration

Before the initial configuration of the data center WAE, you need to know the following parameters:

• WINS server (if applicable).

• DNS server and DNS domain (if applicable).

• A browsing user with file-server directory traversal (read-only) privileges. This user, who is usually

set up as a domain or service user, is required for running preposition policies.

To successfully integrate Cisco WAAS into the Windows environment on the data center WAE side of a

network where DHCP is not being used, you must manually add the name and IP address of the data

center WAE to the DNS server. You should take this action before installing and deploying the WAAS

devices.

Note User permissions are determined by the existing security infrastructure.

Branch WAE Integration

Before the initial configuration of the branch WAE, you need to know the following parameters:

• DNS server and DNS domain

• Windows Domain Name

• WINS server (if applicable)

To successfully integrate Cisco WAAS into the Windows environment on the branch WAE side of the

network, you should take the following preliminary actions before installing and deploying the WAAS

devices in your network:

• To enable all branch WAEs in the specified domain to appear in the Network Neighborhood of users

within the same domain, ensure that a Domain Master Browser or local Master Browser is active.

• If DHCP is not used, you must manually add the name and IP address of the branch WAE to the DNS

server.
