Cisco WAAS – weird error when trying to register WAEs to the central manager

Friday, February 5th, 2010

When working on a WAE 500 (I know, this is really old hardware), I ran into an issue when trying to register with the central manager (CM):

waas-edge#sh cms info
Device registration information :
Device Id                            = 216
Device registered as                 = WAAS Application Engine
Current WAAS Central Manager         = 10.1.1.200
Registered with WAAS Central Manager = 10.1.1.3
Status                               = Pending(CM is busy, retry later)
Time of last config-sync             = Fri Feb  5 09:20:12 2010            

CMS services information :
Service cms_ce is running
waas-edge#

Here’s how I resolved it! (more…)
