The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product. Learn more about how Cisco is using Inclusive Language.
Note For a list of system requirements and package dependencies, see the System Requirements document.
There is one exception to this automatic package installation. For RHEL operating systems, you must manually install an RHEL package repository (createrepo) using the Red Hat installation DVD.
– Messages might expire prematurely, which manifests as an unresponsive WAE northbound interface. Depending on where the JMS messages expire, you may or may not see indications of this in the logs.
– Certain collection tools, such as sam_getplan
and flow_get
, might produce inaccurate traffic tables.
– Collection tools will produce an inaccurate NetIntHistory table.
– All lines in the collection logs will have incorrect timestamps.
/etc/hosts
requirements—Various web services require the server's hostname to be present in the /etc/hosts
file. This is standard configuration practice, but some Linux systems do not have it. Both the fully-qualified domain name and hostname must be present. Make sure that the following line is present in /etc/hosts
. <server IP address> <fully-qualified domain name> <hostname>
Example: 192.168.0.15 wae-server.my.company.com wae-server
HOSTNAME=<fully-qualified domain name>
These pre-installation steps are valid for both online and offline installations.
Step 1 Download the WAE software package. In a web browser, go to the Cisco download site, and use the Search feature to find the applicable product.
Step 2 Log in to the server as root or a user with administrative capabilities.
Step 3 Ensure there are no local firewalls blocking the services. This step is beyond the scope of these instructions, though following is an example. For a list of available ports, see the System Requirements document.
Example: This shows how to disable the iptables firewall as root:
service iptables save
service iptables stop
chkconfig iptables off
If this is an upgrade and if you want to change the default manner in which the wae-web-server
starts, change the manner in which it restarts, or change the size of the web server memory, edit the /opt/cariden/etc/sysconfig/wae-web-server.cfg
file. The following are the most frequently used parameters.
|

---|---|
Enable (true) or disable (false) the automatic redirect from HTTP to HTTPS |

Enable (true) or disable (false) the automatic upgrade of the Collector server database. For information on database upgrades, see Collector Server Upgrades . |
