Enabling WAAS Express
Router(config)#interface <interface-name>
Router(config-if)#waas enable
Simple one command configuration using default policy
EULA is displayed for Trial licenses the first time WAAS Express is enabled
Default built-in policy is auto-generated and applied to running-config
WAAS Express default policy is equivalent to Cisco WAAS (version 4.2.1) default policy but without AO support
Integrated in IOS, eliminates the need for WCCP configurations
