Chapter 2 Setting Up The NAM Traffic Analyzer
Traffic
Editing WAAS Data Sources
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.
To edit a WAAS device’s custom data source:
Step 1 Choose Setup > Traffic > NAM Data Sources. The data sources are displayed.
Step 2 Click the WAAS device you want to modify, and then click the Edit button.
You can configure the WAAS data sources to monitor the following WAAS segments as shown in
Figure 2-3, WAAS Data Sources (Data Collection Points):
• Client—This setting configures the WAE device to export the original (LAN side) TCP flows
originated from its clients to NAM for monitoring.
• Client WAN— This setting configures the WAE device to export the optimized (WAN side) TCP
flows originated from its clients to NAM for monitoring.
• Server WAN—This setting configures the WAE device to export the optimized (WAN side) TCP
flows from its servers to NAM for monitoring.
• Server—This setting configures the WAE device to export the original (LAN side) TCP flows from
its servers to NAM for monitoring.
SPAN data sources might take the place of the WAE Server data sources listed in Table 2-12. For
example, if you already configure SPAN to monitor the server LAN traffic, it is not necessary to enable
the Server data source on the WAE device.
Note The following step is optional and applies only when the NAM is configured to export data to an External
Response Time Reporting Console, such as the NetQos Super Agent.
Step 3 To export WAAS pass-through data to the External Response Time Reporting Console, check the
Passthrough Response Time check box.
Note WAAS pass-through data is not analyzed by the NAM.
See Custom Export, page 2-55 for more information.
Deleting a WAAS Data Source
To delete a WAAS custom data source:
Step 1 Choose Setup > Traffic > NAM Data Sources. The data sources are displayed.
Step 2 Choose the WAAS custom data source you want to delete, then click the Delete button.
A dialog box displays the device address and asks if you are sure you want to delete the device.
