When WAAS software is installed, the WAE appliance can function as either a
Central Manager or as an Application Acceleration Engine. When ACNS software
is installed, the WAE appliance functions as a Content Engine or one of the other
ACNS device modes (Content Router or Content Distribution Manager). When
WAFS software is installed, the WAE appliance functions as a File Engine. (See
Figure 1-1.)
Figure 1-1 WAE-511 and WAE-611—Front View
The WAE-511 and WAE-611 are configured for AC-input power and have a single
AC-input power supply.
The WAE appliance has an integrated dual-port Ethernet controller. This
controller provides an interface for connecting to 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or
1000-Mbps networks.
Wide Area Application Engines have two
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-TX Ethernet ports with RJ-45 receptacles.
Both Ethernet ports support autodetect speed mode and full-duplex operation,
which enable simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the
Ethernet LAN.
In addition, the WAE-611 is configured with one Ultra320 low-voltage
differential (LVD) small computer system interface (SCSI) port connector for
attaching the Cisco Storage Array. This connector is located in Peripheral
Component Interconnect-Extended (PCI-X) slot 2 on the back panel. (See
Figure 1-2.)
