__TOC__

WAAS Express is WAAS functionality built into IOS running on a device such as a router. The WAAS Central Manager can manage a WAAS Express device along with other WAAS devices in the WAAS network. This article describes how to troubleshoot WAAS Express device operation.

'''NOTE:''' WAAS Express Central Manager support was introduced in WAAS version 4.3.1. This section is not applicable to earlier WAAS versions.

==Verifying WAAS Express Image Version==

To verify the WAAS Express image version use the '''show waas status''' command on the WAAS Express router. To view the WAAS Express image version from the WAAS Central Manager, choose '''My WAN > Manage Devices'''.

waas-express# '''show waas status'''

IOS Version: 15.1(20101018:232707) <----- IOS version
WAAS Express Version: 1.1.0 <----- WAAS Express version
. . .

== Verifying WAAS Express License ==

The WAAS Express license comes in two varieties: evaluation license (valid for 12 years) and permanent license. Use the '''show waas status''' command on the WAAS Express device to display the license information.

waas-express# '''show waas status'''

IOS Version: 15.1(20101018:232707)
WAAS Express Version: 1.1.0
. . .

1865 64.103.255.217 :59206 192.168.4.2 :23253 0021.5e57.a768 TLD

To view similar information from the Central Manager, choose the WAAS Express device, then choose '''Monitor > Optimization > Connections Statistics''' to see the Connections Summary Table.

:'''''Figure 1. Connections Summary Table'''''

:[[Image:Conntrend.jpg]]

== Verifying WAAS Optimized Data ==

On the WAAS Express device, use the '''show waas statistics application''' command to list the optimized data classified into each application. The WAAS Express device does not show pass-through data. This data is used to generate the TCP related charts in the WAAS Central Manager.

waas-express# '''show waas statistics application'''

== Verifying WAAS Express Alarms ==

On the WAAS Express device, use the '''show waas alarms''' command to list the alarms that are present in the device and their status.

waas-express# '''show waas alarms'''
WAAS status: enabled
Alarms
Connection limit exceeded: on <----- on indicates this alarm is active. off indicates inactive
Too many peers discovered: off
WAAS license expired: off
WAAS license revoked: off
WAAS license deleted: off
High CPU: off

To view alarms for all devices from the Central Manager, choose '''My WAN > Alerts'''. In addition to the alarms listed above, an alarm is raised if the clocks of the WAAS Express and WAAS Central Manager devices are not synchronized.

== Verifying WAAS Express Peers ==

On the WAAS Express device, use the '''show waas statistics peer''' command to list the peer devices of the WAAS Express device.

waas-express# '''show waas statistics peer'''
Number of Peers : 1
Peer: 0021.5e57.a768

To view similar information from the Central Manager, choose '''Monitor > Topology'''.

== Offline Alarms ==

The WAAS Express device may go to an offline state in the Central Manager because of the following issues:

* '''Central Manager does not have WAAS Express device credentials.'''

: Credentials are not configured for this WAAS Express device in the Central Manager. The WAAS Central Manager needs the WAAS Express username and password to communicate with the WAAS Express device. You can configure credentials in the Central Manager by choosing '''My WAN''' (or a WAAS Express device or device group) '''> Admin > WAAS Express Credentials'''.

* '''Authentication failed while communicating with WAAS Express device.'''

: The Central Manager is not able to communicate with the WAAS Express because wrong credentials are configured. You can configure credentials in the Central Manager by choosing '''My WAN''' (or a WAAS Express device or device group) '''> Admin > WAAS Express Credentials'''.

* '''SSL Handshake failed while communicating with WAAS Express devcie.'''

: The WAAS Express device certificate is changed and the same certificate is not imported for this device in the Central Manager. To reimport the WAAS Express device certificate, choose the WAAS Express device, then choose '''Admin > Certificate'''.

* '''No route to WAAS Express device.'''

: The Central Manager is not able to reach the WAAS Express Device. Configure the correct WAAS Express management IP address by choosing the WAAS Express device, then choosing ''DeviceName'' '''> Activation'''.

* '''Connection is refused by WAAS Express device.'''

: The HTTPS server port configured on the WAAS Express device is not the same as the port shown in the Central Manager ''DeviceName'' '''> Activation''' page. Configure the correct WAAS Express HTTPS server port in this page.

* '''WAAS support is not available on WAAS Express device.'''

: The WAAS Express device is downgraded to an IOS image version with no WAAS support. Install an IOS image with WAAS support.

* '''Connection timed out while communicating with WAAS Express device.'''

: The WAAS Express device is taking more than 30 seconds to respond to the Central Manager. It could be because the WAAS Express device is overloaded or the network is slow.

* '''License is expired on WAAS Express device.'''

: The Evaluation license on the WAAS Express device is expired. Install a Permanent license by using the WAAS Express '''license install''' command.

* '''SSL connection closed incorrectly while communicating with WAAS Express device.'''

: The WAAS Express device and Central Manager are using the cipher rc4-128-md5 for SSL communication. Sometimes the Central Manager fails to decrypt the SSL data sent by the WAAS Express. Configure the ciphers 3des-ede-cbc-sha, des-cbc-sha, and rc4-128 by using the WAAS Express command '''ip http secure-ciphersuite 3des-ede-cbc-sha des-cbc-sha rc4-128-sha'''.

* '''Failed to check the status of WAAS Express device.'''

: The Central Manager is not receiving configuration status from the WAAS Express device. Contact Cisco TAC for assistance troubleshooting.

* '''Management Status is offline.'''

: If you see this error message, contact Cisco TAC for assistance troubleshooting.

== Verifying WAAS Express HTTPS Configuration ==

To verify the HTTPS server configuration on the WAAS Express device, use the '''show ip http server secure status''' command.

waas-express# '''show ip http server secure status'''

HTTP secure server status: Enabled
HTTP secure server port: 443
HTTP secure server ciphersuite: 3des-ede-cbc-sha des-cbc-sha rc4-128-sha
HTTP secure server client authentication: Disabled
HTTP secure server trustpoint: local
HTTP secure server active session modules: ALL

== Capturing Packets on the Router ==

To debug connection problems, you may need to capture packets on the WAAS Express device.

For details on IOS packet capture, see the document [http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/netmgmt/configuration/guide/nm_packet_capture.html Embedded Packet Capture].

You should define two capture points: one on the LAN side interface and one on the WAN side interface.
