You must then configure the WAAS segments you want to monitor as WAAS data sources: Client, Client
WAN, Server WAN, and/or Server. See Editing WAAS Data Sources, page 2-34, for more detailed
information.
You can also use the Central Manager (CM) to centrally issue WAAS CLI commands to configure a large
number of WAEs at one time.
Note In addition to configuring the WAAS devices, you must specify which application servers you want to
monitor among the servers being optimized by WAAS devices. See WAAS Monitored Servers,
page 2-80, for more detailed information.
For more information about WAAS and configuring the WAAS components, see the document:

Adding Data Sources for New WAAS Device
The NAM uses WAAS data sources to monitor traffic collected from different WAAS segments: Client,
Client WAN, Server WAN, and Server. Each WAAS segment is represented by a data source. You can
set up the NAM to monitor and report other traffic statistics of the WAAS data sources such as
application, host, and conversation information in addition to the monitored Response Time metrics.
Note This step is not usually necessary because export-enabled WAAS devices are detected and added
automatically. See Managing WAAS Devices, page 2-32, for more information about how to enable
WAAS export to the NAM.
To manually add a WAAS device to the list of devices monitored by the NAM:
Step 1 Choose Setup > Traffic > NAM Data Sources.
Step 2 Click Create.
The NAM Data Source Configuration Dialog appears.
Step 3 Choose “WAAS” from the list of Types.
Step 4 Enter the device IP address in the IP field.
Step 5 Check the check boxes for the appropriate WAAS Segments. See (Table 2-11).
Step 6 (Optional) If Response Time Export is enabled (see Custom Export, page 2-55), and you want to export
passthrough traffic, check the Passthrough Response Time check box.
Step 7 Click Submit to add the new WAAS custom data source.
